Dear member,

The dreaded complications of diabetes include heart attack and stroke.

You can check whether you are at risk from the National Health Service ( NHS - UK) associated web site http://www.qrisk.org/index.php

Enter your details and click calculate to know how healthy your heart is ( heart age) and your risk of a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years.

If your risk is more than 10%, you have no time to waste and should take remedial action.

How can I reduce my risk?

If your HbA1c is below 6.5%, you are not in the diabetes range. Remove diabetes from the parameters and see the difference. Similarly remove smoking if you are a smoker, change the Cholesterol/ HDL ratio to 4 or less, Blood pressure to 120 systolic and your weight to height - 100 and see the difference in your risk and heart age. These are all achievable by you. Then why not act now to live longer and healthier.
