All manifestations of cardiovascular disease are increased in diabetes and the normal male excess of heart disease mortality is considerably reduced, i.e. the female protection against heart disease is dramatically reduced or eliminated. Case fatality is also increased, again especially in women. Though the standard risk factors are still operative they don’t fully explain the increased risk and neither does it seem that blood sugar itself or duration are strong predictors of heart disease within the diabetic population.
