Diabetes, Heart Attack 2.4X Increase

From Reuters: Diabetes equals heart attack in later heart risk.

"Diabetics have more than 2.4 times the normal risk of dying from cardiovascular disease -- about the same as those who have had a heart attack, the five-year Danish study of more than 3 million people found.

"The increased risk was observed in people at all ages with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes who were receiving insulin or other drugs to reduce levels of sugar in the blood," said Dr. Tina Ken Schramm, who led the study at the Gentofte Hospital in Hellerup, Denmark.

"When people with diabetes do have heart attacks, they are twice as likely to die as non-diabetics."


Atypical antipsychotic poisons cause massive weight gain and Diabetes. Tens of thousands of amputations are performed every year, due to Diabetes.

'Insomnia' [$$ Billing Code 307.42] is a DSM-IV-TR poisonable, legal debilitation, as: incurably 'mentally ill'. But at least you won't have to worry about being lifelong afflicted with 'Insomnia'. Oops, forgot to mention that Psychiatry HAS NO CURES, only a lifetime of 'Treatments', and Drugs.

Maybe you'll get hosed with an anti-psychotic, develop Diabetes, and have your leg cut off, provided you don't Die of a Heart Attack first. You'll be an obese, diabetic amputee; and you'll still have trouble getting to sleep, [who wouldn't?] but at least you'll be 'Mentally Healthy'.

Psychiatry: the gift that just keeps on giving.
