Moon and Bean suggested I post this to help keep our pet pawrents as healthy as possible
As a PA, one of my biggest concerns are diabetics who are not on the optimal treatment to prevent some of the preventable complications of diabetes. I always tell my patients "diabetics have the same risk of a heart attack as someone who has already had one" so the treatment should be the same as someone with known heart disease. Here is a great patient handout I use. It addresses ALL the complications (not just heart disease). If you're not doing all of the things listed on here, mention it to your healthcare provider at your next visit.
