🫀 What Diabetes Does to Your Heart (and How to Protect It)
Did you know that people with diabetes are twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke?
Even when blood sugar seems under control, high glucose levels can quietly damage your blood vessels over time — especially the ones near your heart.
❤️ What’s happening inside:
Blood becomes thicker and stickier
Arteries harden and narrow
Inflammation increases silently
💡 How to protect your heart:
Prioritize fiber, omega-3s, and leafy greens
Keep blood pressure and cholesterol in check
Move your body every day, even 15 minutes counts
Sleep well and manage stress regularly
Managing diabetes isn’t just about sugar — it’s about saving your heart, your brain, and your future.
