ROCHESTER, Minnesota: El costo de los tipos de insulina más frecuentemente usados es en Estados Unidos 10 veces mayor que en el resto de países del mundo desarrollado, expone un comentario en Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

Los problemas cardíacos son comunes entre las personas que padecen diabetes. De hecho, alrededor del 33 por ciento de los estadounidenses que ingresan al hospital debido a insuficiencia cardíaca también son diabéticos. Si bien la insuficiencia cardíaca puede derivar de otra afección ya existente, como hipertensión o cardiopatia coronaria, ese no siempre es el caso.
Heart problems are a common development for people with diabetes. In fact, about 33% of people in the U.S. admitted to the hospital for heart failure also have diabetes. Heart failure may be the result of a co-condition, such as hypertension or coronary heart disease, but not always. A study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Diabetes Mellitus Is an Independent Predictor for the Development of Heart Failure: A Population Study, examines the idea of diabetic cardiomyopathy and heart failure from the effects of diabetes alone.

The reasons listed were many but centered on a single theme: traditional healthcare is failing them.
