Far Reaching Repercussions of Diabetes Mellitus on Cardiovascular Health of Middle-Aged People

Abstract

Abstract: Over the years the word Diabetes has been the bane of many a patients across the world. Millions of people fall a victim to diabetes every year and suffer the harmful consequences for their lifetime. Though it is no longer a life threatening ailment as it once used to be but it could be fatal if the patient sidelines necessary precautions. The study conducted in the city of Kota aims to highlight the scourge of Diabetes and its lethal effects on the cardiovascular health of middle aged people who are the most potent victims. Though it’s well known that uncontrolled blood sugar levels lead to Diabetes among the middle aged but over a span it gradually impacts their heart which starts malfunctioning and may even collapse if the condition keeps worsening. The study was randomly conducted on a sample set of 50 middle aged individuals between 35 to 65 in age residing in the city of Kota and undergoing treatment for Type 2 Diabetes. The sample was sourced from a hospital in the city which allowed us to interact with the patients. The results were surprising and somehow validated the beliefs. Though, there wasn’t exactly a strict correlation between the two but the data and its analysis later indicated that unduly high blood sugar level does have a long term impact on the heart of individuals. Contacting the patients and seeking their responses was a tough job but a meticulous approach made it possible to collate the results and reach an informed conclusion. Since all the individuals in the sample set were diabetics, getting responses from them regarding the health of their heart and connecting it with their pre-existing conditions held the key to the whole study. Although they were all on strict medication for Diabetes, their related heart ailments were forcing them to ingest pills to keep their hearts in check and in some respondents the ailment was grave enough and worthy of a serious consideration. Although majority of them just started off as diabetics but on the way picked heart related disorders and were forced to undergo special treatment for that.
