Stress Test

Because you have diabetes, has your doctor ordered you to undergo a stress test.

How relevant is diabetes to the heart.

Re: Stress Test

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of heart disease.There is a very strong link and if your doc feels it is necessary, it is probably a good idea. Docs don't tend to send for a stress test just because you have D, but if there are other symptoms or risk factors it is probably a good idea.

Re: Stress Test

Ditto what Cora said. There's an extremely strong connection between diabetes and heart disease.
