The link between diabetes and heart disease begins with high blood sugar levels. Over time, elevated glucose can damage the arteries, making them stiff and prone to blockages—potentially leading to a heart attack or stroke.
To raise awareness among physicians, we developed a striking connect-the-dots campaign: when connected, the dots form a tombstone, a coffin, and a flatline EKG—powerful reminders of the serious consequences if this connection goes unaddressed. It’s time to confront the link and stop the progression before it’s too late.
