Diabetes mellitus is a complex and unique group of chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. Type 1 diabetes is most common in adolescents (diagnosed when they are 30 years of age or younger) and is generally thought to be caused by the immune - related destruction of the pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes is a progressive metabolic syndrome characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction. Although coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death from type 1 diabetes the mechanisms underlying the increased risk are not well. Type 1 diabetes has increased the risk of premature death, with heart disease as a major component. The risk of coronary artery disease is predisposed to a certain extent by focusing on common risk factors including hemoglobin HbA1c and duration of diabetes ,but nonetheless people with type 1 diabetes have increased risk of CHD. Over the past few years there has been much debate over whether patients with type 2 diabetes should be treated as those with high risk of cardiovascular disease, even if T2DM should be considered as equivalent to cardiovascular disease , have too many patients with untreated T2DM , and diabetic doctors are more prone to diabetes , often forgetting all those cardiovascular risk. In this review we discuss the above mentioned topic , diabetes (type 1 and type 2) with cardiovascular disease, try to give suggestions, and raise the issue of whether we should start a discussion to treat all diabetic patients such as those with high risk of cardiovascular risk , or try to combine the definition and find such variable/risk factors that can be measured to help doctors to treat those patients properly.
