Here is the latest video where Dr Wamil talks about the connection between heart disease and diabetes.
Focusing on what
matters most
People who have been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 (T2DM) have, on average, 4 times higher risk of developing heart disease (CVD risk) than people with no history of diabetes.
Results of large randomised controlled trials have changed, over the last few years, the paradigm in the management of diabetes from glucose-centric to focused on the management of all cardiovascular risk factors.
It has been shown that positive changes in lifestyle such as quitting smoking, reducing weight, improving exercise levels, modifying diet and controlling blood pressure can reduce mortality in people with diabetes.
Providing tailored advice
In our cardio-diabetic clinics, we will assess your individual’s CVD risk, which is the strongest predictor of longevity, and will determine types of available treatment offering protection from premature heart disease. We will provide personalised management plan for the necessary lifestyle changes with ongoing support and suggestions on how to implement them.
We will help you to understand the complexity of your condition and teach you how to better adhere to suggested clinical guidelines.
