Diabetes and comorbid cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. So far, regulating glucose levels has been the traditional approach. Although several medications are available, management of diabetes has proved challenging. Diabetes is also a known causative factor of inflammation.
A recent study at the American Heart Association’s High Blood Pressure Research Scientific Sessions implicated that treating inflammation might be the best way to tackle diabetes and its cardiovascular comorbidities. Moreover, it is evident that inflammatory bowel disease substantially increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and aggravates congestive heart failure as well, especially in diabetic patients.
