A new study at the University of Alberta has found that patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes are at double the risk of having a stroke.
Another conclusion of the study is that the Type 2 diabetes patients are at high of stroke within the first five years of treatment and more than doubles the rate of occurrence.
As a part of the research, the scientific team entered 12,272 subjects into a Type 2 diabetes cohort.
A common characteristic of all subjects involved in the study was that they had a mean age of 64 years and were recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Stroke incidence rates were compared between general population and the cohort after five years of monitoring.
The research recently was published in the American Heart Association’s Stroke journal as the first study to targeted to examine stroke-related outcomes immediately after the diagnosis of and initiation of treatment for Type 2 diabetes.
