Diabetes has long been described as the âsugarâ disease. But recently, doctors have described it as a common cause of heart disease and stroke. Contrary to what the guidelines were in the past, physicians now recognize that patients with diabetes have the same risk for heart attack as someone who has already suffered such an event.
