Simple Actions Wipe Out Huge Higher Heart Risks For Asian Diabetics

New research, not yet fully disclosed, has shown that very simple interventions to target the health care of UK Asian diabetics can almost wipe out the 40% higher risks of heart disease linked to diabetes in that community. [University of Warwick]

Very simply, it appears that researchers examined the effect of better communication and contact with health care workers and documented a resulting drop in blood pressure. The anticipated outcome is that the "drop in blood pressure [will lead] to a 35% reduction in the risk of heart disease."
