Can type 2 diabetes cause you to have a stroke?

Answer 1

Indirectly. Diabetes mellitus (type 1 OR type 2) is a major risk factor in atherosclerosis (which is damage to blood vessels). Blockages can develop in the arteries in the brain and stroke can occur. If you keep the blood sugar levels under good control, watch your diet, keep your cholesterol and blood pressure down, exercise, and avoid tobacco in any form, you can substantially reduce your risk of stroke with diabetes.

Answer 5

More likely what caused the type 2 diabetes will cause the stroke. I.E. poor diet, overweight, lack of exercise. One thing nice about type 2 diabetes is, it forces you to take a hard look at your health. If you don't take care of it, it will bite you in the butt.... hard. If you take care of it, the other complications, like heart attack, stroke, etc. will likely be avoided.

Answer 7

Another mechanism for stroke in diabetics is high viscosity blood in hyperglycemic states. So, if the blood sugar gets too high, the blood gets gooey, doesn't flow as easily and, if the person already has some problem with the cerebral vasculature, this could cause one of the blood vessels to over-pressure, burst and start a bleed. (hemmoragic stroke)

DAMAGE FROM DIABETES

Damage to the retina from diabetes (diabetic retinopathy) is a leading cause of blindness.
Damage to the kidneys from diabetes (diabetic nephropathy) is a leading cause of kidney failure.
Damage to the nerves from diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) is a leading cause of foot wounds and ulcers, which frequently lead to foot and leg amputations.
Damage to the nerves in the autonomic nervous system can lead to paralysis of the stomach (gastroparesis), chronic diarrhea, and an inability to control heart rate and blood pressure with posture changes.
Diabetes accelerates atherosclerosis, or the formation of fatty plaques inside the arteries, which can lead to blockages or a clot (thrombus), which can then lead to heart attack, stroke, and decreased circulation in the arms and legs (peripheral vascular disease).
Diabetes predisposes people to high blood pressure and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These independently and together with hyperglycemia increase the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, and other blood vessel complications.

Many infections are associated with diabetes, and infections are frequently more dangerous in someone with diabetes because the body's normal ability to fight infections is impaired. To compound the problem, infections may worsen glucose control, which further delays recovery from infection.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be CURED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.
