This article examines the strong association between diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). It discusses how hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients. The article reviews evidence from clinical trials that have shown the benefits of intensive glycemic control, blood pressure management, and lipid-lowering therapies in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in individuals with diabetes. It also highlights the importance of early intervention and comprehensive management strategies to prevent the onset of CVD in diabetic patients.
