November is American Diabetes Month!
Did you know that diabetes and heart disease are linked? People with
diabetes are at high risk for a heart attack or a stroke. Their
heart attacks tend to be more serious and can happen early in life.
In fact, two out of three people with diabetes die from heart
disease or stroke. Both women and men are at risk.
Fortunately, there is a lot you can do to reduce your risk for heart
disease and stroke.
During American Diabetes Month this November, the American Diabetes
Association together with the American College of Cardiology, are
working to increase awareness of the link between diabetes and heart
disease. Through an initiative called “Make the Link! Diabetes,
Heart Disease and Stroke” the organizations are urging people with
diabetes to learn how they can lower their chances for heart disease
and stroke.

Did you know that 2 out of 3 people with diabetes die from heart
disease and stroke? Make the Link! Diabetes, Heart Disease and
Stroke is an initiative of the American Diabetes Association and the
American College of Cardiology, aimed at increasing awareness of the
link between diabetes and heart disease.
