Why are diabetics prone to cardiovascular disease? It seems that no one is unfamiliar with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which means that diabetes is prone to cardiovascular disease. Why are people with diabetes prone to coronary heart disease? That is, why do diabetics have a higher chance of developing coronary heart disease than the general population? This is because most vascular lesions are formed due to atherosclerosis or narrowing of the lumen of the blood vessels, which eventually leads to lumen blockage. As we know, diabetic patients are in a long-term hyperglycemic state, and the metabolism of glucose, lipids, proteins and other substances in their blood is in a very obvious state of disorder, so the metabolic process of many substances is also significantly inhibited, which leads to the accumulation of many metabolic products in the blood vessels. On the one hand, the blood becomes sticky, and on the other hand, his metabolic substances are more likely to be deposited on the walls of blood vessels; at the same time, high blood sugar can also cause damage to the intima of blood vessels and lead to vascular lesions. Therefore, diabetic patients are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases. In addition, we also know that diabetic patients will cause some hormonal changes in the body, and these hormonal changes are also one of the reasons for the increased incidence of vascular disease.
