Diabetes Lifestyle Intervention Does Not Reduce Heart Attack Or Stroke Risk
A long-term, intensive lifestyle intervention program for type 2 diabetes patients that focused on weight loss and exercise did not reduce the risk of stroke or heart attacks, researchers involved in the "Look AHEAD" trial explained at the American Diabetes Association's 73rd Scientific Sessions, Chicago, Illinois. However, the program improved patients' physical quality of life, reduced incidence and severity of depressive symptoms, lowered medical costs because of fewer hospitalizations, outpatient care and medications, and also reduced *microvascular complications...

Metabolic syndrome is a name for the disorder of metabolism - a combination of abdominal obesity, elevated blood lipids, hypertension and impaired glucose tolerance - which provides for a significantly increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular disease...

Early Diagnosis Of The Metabolic Syndrome Can Trigger Preventive Treatment Sooner, Before Type 2 Diabetes Develops
Researchers have developed a risk assessment scoring system that they believe may better identify certain adults - especially African Americans - at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke than does the current system of diagnosing the metabolic syndrome.

Diabetics Taking Certain Blood Pressure Drugs At Lower Risk Of Heart Disease
Two drugs, telmisartan and valsartan, which are used to reduce blood pressure in people with diabetes, are associated with a lower risk of hospitalization for heart attack, stroke or heart failure, according to a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). For people with type 2 diabetes, disease-related vascular illnesses are the main causes of death. Angiotensin-receptor blockers including telmisartan, valsartan, candesartan, irbesartan and losartan, are generally used interchangeably to control blood pressure...

Improved sex drive after bariatric surgery
The health risks of obesity are well known, with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke and certain cancers. But what is not so well known is how it affects women's sex drive and satisfaction, something researchers from the University of Pennsylvania set out to explore. In a study, published in JAMA Surgery this month, Prof. David B.

Physical activity reduces risk of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetes
The risk of cardiovascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes is directly related to the frequency and duration of physical exercise, according to results of a large follow-up study reported on World Diabetes Day. Notably, those with low levels of physical activity had a 70% greater risk of cardiovascular death than those with higher levels.Studies have shown indisputably that those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are up to five times more likely to develop heart disease or stroke than healthy subjects in the general population.
