Type 2 diabetes mellitus significantly increases the risk of developing ischaemic heart disease because high blood glucose damages blood vessels and speeds up atherosclerosis (narrowing of blood vessels due to fatty deposits). People with diabetes often have additional risk factors, such as high blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol levels. Controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
