 Inflammation: The Silent Link Between Diabetes and Heart Disease

February is Women’s Heart Health Month, and if you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, this is a conversation you truly can’t afford to skip.

In this episode of The Diabetic Toolbox, Renee explores one of the most overlooked but most powerful connections between blood sugar and heart health: chronic inflammation. While most conversations focus on glucose numbers or cholesterol, inflammation often works quietly behind the scenes, worsening insulin resistance, damaging blood vessels, and increasing cardiovascular risk, especially for women.
This episode explains what inflammation is, why it matters when diabetes is involved, and how small, gentle lifestyle shifts can help reduce it without restrictive diets or exhausting workouts.
