Management
Diabetes and Heart Disease RiskPeople with diabetes have a two to four times greater risk of developing heart disease than people without diabetes.The best way to lower this risk is to reduce the amount of saturated fat and trans fat you eat.Instead, choose healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in moderation.Good sources of these healthy fats include olive oil, fatty fish like salmon or sardines, flaxseed, and walnuts.Your diabetes care provider may also recommend a blood test every year to check your cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
