Coronary heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Almost one in five men and one in six women die from this disease.

However, for people with diabetes the risk is much higher. Among those who have diabetes,women have a greater risk of developing coronary heart disease than men. Women with diabetes are three to five times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than women without diabetes. Men with diabetes are two to four times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than men without diabetes.
