this more often.

Pre-Diabetics
Face High Heart Attack Risk Now!
New
research shows that cardiovascular risks can increase even before
patients develop diabetes.
People
with diabetes have a higher than average risk of developing
cardiovascular disease. Researchers led by Dr. Frank B. Hu of the
Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts found that
women who later developed type 2 diabetes had a risk of heart attack
almost 4 times higher than women who never developed diabetes. Once
women were diagnosed with diabetes, the risk increased to 4.5 times
that of non-diabetics. See
item #8 for more information
