These findings highlight a distinct risk in the diabetic population since diabetes is associated with high cardiovascular mortality.
Diabetic subjects receiving insulin therapy since diabetes onset, who never took oral anti-diabetic drugs, were considered not to have T2D.
It has been argued that MetS status does not add incremental information for cardiovascular management of diabetic individuals [ 23], since diabetes alone defines high cardiovascular risk.
The possibility of statin intake precipitating rhabdomyolysis in diabetic patients with sepsis cannot be overlooked since diabetes is a known risk factor for statin induced myopathy [30].
Since diabetes greatly increases a person's risk of developing heart disease and other disorders caused by fat-clogged arteries, the results of this study are highly significant to the 14 million Americans with Type 2 diabetes.
And since diabetes is characterized by high levels of blood sugar, the hope was that if people with diabetes could just get their blood sugar as close to normal as possible, their cardiovascular disease rate would be nearly normal as well.
Since diabetes may exist without clinical manifestations at the early stage, symptomatic cases may be difficult to detect.
Next, since diabetes is highly influenced by risky health behaviour [36], observed associations might to a certain degree be explained by life style choices [37].
But since diabetes is an autoimmune disease, the immune system also has to be brought to heel.
Since diabetes is reaching pandemic proportions, Dr. Mooney notes that 25 million Americans currently struggle with the disease, but of those only about a fraction suffer from Type 1, or hereditary, diabetes (the inability to produce insulin).
Since diabetes has also been implicated as a risk factor for age-related cognitive decline [31], we examined whether diabetes mediates the association of PCK1 with cognitive impairment.
