ASCVD and type 2 diabetes

Atherosclerosis is the predominant cause of CVD and death in people with type 2 diabetes. Hence, it is crucial to identify and treat people with type 2 diabetes and long-term atherosclerotic CVD risk early.
An early SHIFT in treatment could change lives

When it comes to treating type 2 diabetes, there are more options available than ever before. But a SHIFT in treatment towards early and intensive HbA1c control can reduce the risks associated with type 2 diabetes and help your patients avoid long term complications.3-5
