Statins, or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, are the most potent agents for lowering cholesterol, the fat (or lipid) that's been tied to cardiovascular disease and reduced blood flow throughout the body.
Many people with diabetes find they also have conditions such as high cholesterol. They have an increased risk for atherosclerosis, which means hardening and clogging of the arteries, including those feeding the heart and brain.
Thinking about going vegetarian? It’s a choice that might improve your health. Although vegetarianism won’t cure diabetes or even ensure a healthy diet, with the right choices, it can help you gain better control over your diabetes, lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease.
