Hypertension and dyslipidemia are also very commonly present. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease is about 2-3 times higher in T2D than in age-matched individuals without a diagnosis of diabetes. Cardiovascular mortality is also about twice as high in people with diabetes compared to a non-diabetic population. People with diabetes are therefore generally considered a high-risk cardiovascular group and require special attention in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
