How to Keep Your Heart Healthy

Diabetes and Heart Health

Heart disease is a serious and common condition. If you have diabetes, you’re twice as likely to have heart disease than someone who doesn’t have diabetes.  But there’s a lot you can do to lower your risk for heart problems. And those actions will make it easier to manage diabetes, too. Being more physically active makes your heart stronger and can improve your blood sugar levels. It can promote weight loss as well, which lowers your heart disease risk. Eating healthy food that gives you the nutrition you need is also really important.
