Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!
Let’s have a little chat about something that’s been glaringly obvious but often overlooked - heart health for diabetics. Now, I don’t want to hear any more excuses about not knowing. If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, you should already be aware that your heart is at risk. Yes, I said it. Diabetes and heart disease go hand-in-hand like peanut butter and jelly, and it’s high time you acknowledged that.
Sweetheart, did your endocrinologist not mention the importance of seeing a cardiologist? Well, it’s not entirely their fault, but you cannot rely solely on one doctor to manage everything. You have to be proactive about this. Your body is a temple, and you must take care of it. Get that calcium score checked and don’t wait until you feel symptoms to take action.
Now, don’t roll your eyes at me. I know you’re thinking it’s just another doctor’s appointment, another test to deal with. But believe me when I say this - prevention is better than cure. You don’t want to find out the hard way that you have heart issues when it could have been prevented or diagnosed earlier. Trust me, a little inconvenience now can save you a world of trouble later.
