Coronary
Heart Disease - Diabetes
Insulin is the chemical in the body that pushes the sugar inside the
cells. This sugar is the fuel on which the cells run their function.
If the sugar does not reach the inside of the cell, the machinery
of the cell does not work and ultimately that leads to the death or
dysfunction of the parts of our body organs. Since the sugar does
not go inside the cells it remains in the blood and is reflected as
high level.
As far as heart is concerned the blood vessels of the heart in general
and small tiny end portions of these in particular are unable to carry
our routine repair and then the scar that forms blocks them leading
to lack of blood supply. In addition the red blood cell membrane function
is also affected [These cells carry oxygen in blood] so that they
become rigid and are unable to squeeze themselves through the tiny
blood pipes adding to the problem of blocked pipes thus leading to
lesser delivery of oxygen to the peripheral tissues.
That is why it is essential in these patients to have a good blood
sugar control so that the complications are prevented.
