AB  - The main objective in caring for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients is the prevention of microvascular and potentially macrovascular complications with improved glycemic control along with management of other risk factors [Konig M et al. Curr Diabetes Rev 2013]. Diabetes is associated with both kinds of complications, affecting numerous organs, including the heart, brain, and kidneys [Cade WT. Phys Ther 2008]. This article discusses new ways to diagnose diabetes and identify those at high risk using HbA1C, dysglycemia in acute coronary syndromes, and diabetes and heart failure.
