I've heard that a lot of people who have diabetes have heart disease. Is that true?

Yes, it is. Diabetes is a condition where your body does not produce enough insulin or the insulin that it produces is not effective. Insulin helps to regulate blood sugar levels in the body. When you have diabetes, your blood sugar levels can become too high or too low. High blood sugar levels are called hyperglycemia and low blood sugar levels are called hypoglycemia. Both of these conditions can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease.
