Diabetics with heart problems have always remained a challenge to physicians. They may present in a most atypical manner. They may have severe coronary heart disease (CHD) and yet remain without symptoms of chest pain – referred to as a "silent ischemia." They may even have a heart attack without the usual severe chest discomfort ("silent heart attack"). Many of these diabetic health patients may die suddenly without reaching the hospital.

This was disclosed recently by Dr. Maryann Lim-Abraham of the Philippine Lipid Society who said that five years ago, her patients were aged 40 to 50 but now, they are mostly teenagers.

Abraham said the number of young diabetics in the country is rising mainly because of their unhealthy lifestyles. Most of her patients were reportedly overweight.

She also confirmed that when a mother is diabetic, her child is 80 to 90 percent more likely to develop diabetes, particularly when the child weighs more than eight pounds.

Diabetics take note: Your medicine could be harming you.

This was disclosed by Mayo Clinic researchers who said that sulfonylureas - medications used for decades to lower the rising blood sugar of diabetics - have certain side-effects that patients may not tolerate.

Dr. Bruce Zimmerman, an endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, said these side-effects include weight gain and some types of heart problems.
