Diabetes substantially increases the risk of heart disease. Diagnosed diabetes is increasing worldwide and the prevalence of diabetes more than doubled in the UK since 1991.

• The worldwide prevalence of diabetes is currently 194,000,000 and is expected to rise to 333,000,000 by the year 2025.

• Heart disease is the major cause of death in 65-70% of persons with diabetes.

• Diabetics have a higher risk of heart disease than non-diabetics.

• Diabetic heart disease is often silent, asymptomatic and goes undetected and unnoticed.
