People with diabetes are 50% more likely to have a heart attack

[Northerner]

People with diabetes are almost 50 per cent more likely to have a heart attack than the rest of the population, says a new report.
It reveals for the first time the scale of complications affecting people with diabetes, who also have a much greater risk of potentially fatal conditions like heart failure, angina and stroke and of needing amputations.
And it's not only those with type 2 diabetes - type 1 diabetes sufferers, a condition which develops in childhood, are also at a greater risk of heart attack.
The findings come from the National Diabetes Audit which analysed the care of two million people with diabetes in 2010/11 in England and Wales.
