Diabetes The American Heart Association estimates that 65% of patients with diabetes die of some form of cardiovascular disease. If you have diabetes you should already be under a doctor's care, because good control of blood sugar levels can reduce your risk.

Exercise burns calories, which helps to control cholesterol levels & diabetes, and may lower blood pressure. Exercise also strengthens the heart muscle and makes the arteries more flexible.
