Introduction
The body needs insulin to make sure that the blood glucose is making each of the systems inside work properly and provide energy as well. By regulating insulin in the body, it can help the body from having unwanted pathogens disrupting the organ systems and increasing blood glucose levels. However, the body is not perfect as it encounters situations where the body can become dysfunctional over time if it is not treated. Unwanted pathogens can actually enter the body and cause many chronic illnesses to develop over time causing pain and suffering to the individual. In this article, we will be taking a look at how cardiovascular disease and diabetes are linked and how to prevent these two from rising in the body. By referring patients to qualified and skilled providers who specialized in cardiovascular services. To that end, and when appropriate, we advise our patients to refer to our associated medical providers based on their examination. We find that education is the key to asking valuable questions to our providers. Dr. Alex Jimenez DC provides this information as an educational service only. Disclaimer

How Cardiovascular Disease & Diabetes Are Linked?
When unwanted pathogens affect the body, a variety of chronic illnesses and conditions can pop up over time, even if the individual is healthy. Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases can work hand in hand by causing the blood glucose levels to rise in the bloodstream, while the arteries can have plaque build-up causing heart diseases to pop up. Research studies show that when the body has high blood glucose levels from diabetes, it can actually damage the blood vessels and the nerves that control the heart and over time lead to heart disease. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes are linked to each other through obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Other studies have shown that amongst diabetics that obesity and type 2 diabetes are two of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease and can increase the risk of heart failure in a person. Other conditions that diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are linked to include:
- Insulin Resistance
- Metabolic Syndrome
- Increased Gut Permeability
