When a person has T2D, their body is not able to efficiently use the insulin it makes to keep glucose (blood sugar) at a healthy level, and people with T2D often have overweight or obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, which further increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. (eurekalert.org)
There are now more options for controlling glucose in people with T2D, and each patient should be evaluated for their personal risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and kidney disease. (eurekalert.org)
However, the statement notes that the latest research indicates several newer classes of medications may both lower glucose and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. (eurekalert.org)

More than 14 per cent of people worldwide have contracted tick-borne Lyme disease, according to blood analyses. (newscientist.com)
When an infected tick bites an animal like a deer or human, it can pass on a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi , the primary cause of Lyme disease . (newscientist.com)
Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics, but without intervention, the pathogen can cause long-lasting damage and inflammation throughout the body. (newscientist.com)
