WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Cardiovascular disease may affect the brains of diabetes patients long before they realize they have it, U.S. researchers say.
Christina Hugenschmidt of the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., analyzed data on 516 people with diabetes. She checked data on hearts and blood vessels for sub-clinical signs of damage, but with no noticeable symptoms. Hugenschmidt also examined results of tests that gauge thinking ability.
