If you have diabetes,Your risk for having a stroke is double that of someone without the disease.Although both sexes are at risk,women are at greater risk when it comes to a diabetes associated stroke.

      Why should having diabetes put you at risk for also having a stoke? Experts believe diabetes may contribute to heart disease and atherosclerosis,possibly by causing damage to arteries and allowing them to absorb fatty cholesterol deposits.As deposits build,arteries become prime candidate for clotting,Which is a leading cause of stroke.

      But having diabetes does not mean a stroke is inevitable."The good news for diabetics" says Robert D,Abbot P.H.D head of the division of information and Biostatistics at the university of virginia School of medicine in Charlottesville, is that if you can keep your diabetes well controlled.its likely you can reduce your risk of stroke.   health care
