Diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease,[1] and people with diabetes commonly also have hypertension and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels)[2] — both of which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Chronic kidney disease develops in 20%–40% of people with diabetes, which is another risk factor for cardiovascular disease.[3]
It’s estimated that up to 75% of people with type 2 diabetes have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease;[4] both conditions are characterized by excessive fat in the liver and pancreas.[5]
