A new study has found that people having type 2 diabetes are at a risk of developing heart problems as early as in their adolescence. “Past studies in adults with Type 2 diabetes show that their heart and blood vessels' ability to adapt to exercise may be impaired. Our study shows that these changes in heart function may begin to happen very early after Type 2 diabetes occurs," said Teresa Pinto, a pediatric endocrinologist at the Dalhousie University IWK Health Centre in Halifax, Canada.
A team of researchers led by Pinto analysed teenagers in the age group of 12 to 20. They studied how the heart and blood vessels of 13 teenagers with Type 2 diabetes adapted to exercise, compared with 27 overweight or obese subjects who did not have diabetes and 19 non-diabetic and non-obese control subjects.
