What Should A Diabetic Do If She Is Worried About Her Heart? - Dr. Shokooh (VIDEO)

Dr. Shokooh:
Women should know that if they have diabetes they should be treated as if they have heart disease and that goes for men as well. Once a person has diabetes the risk for heart disease tremendously increases so once one knows that there is diabetes and it has to be treated, then they have to be very diligent regarding their cholesterol. They should not be smoking, they should have their blood pressure under control because all these hand in hand increases their risk.
