My mother in law is Type 2 and recently broke her leg. A couple of weeks after the break, an xray detected hardened arteries in her legs, the initial assumption being that it`s linked to her diabetes control. There are a few issues in terms of review (her annual review was pushed out to every 5 years, which as a type 1 I find shocking, given she is 65)...but my question is this - what should she do to reverse/limit the damage? Is it a case of managing cholestorol and increasing exercise?
