In addition to monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels, these are 3 common tests your doctor may recommend to check on your heart health:
Electrocardiogram (ECG & EKG):
An ECG measures the heart's electrical activity as electrical impulses travel through the heart. This results in a graph, showing heart beats and rhythms.
Echocardiogram (Echo):
An echo measures how well the heart pumps by using sound waves to visually show how blood flows through the heart and its valves.
Exercise Stress Test (Treadmill Test):
This test measures how well the heart functions when it is working hard, such as when walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike.

Spot a stroke and act F.A.S.T. Look out for these common stroke symptoms because the most effective stroke treatments may only be available when the stroke is recognized and diagnosed within 3 hours of the first symptoms.
F - Face drooping.
One side of the person's face appears to droop or if it's numb when they try to smile.
A - Arm weakness
One of the arms and/or legs suddenly feels weak or numb (especially when they attempt to raise their arms or legs).
S - Speech difficulty
Speech is slurred, they unable to speak/form words, or it is difficult to understand them. Test this by asking the person to repeat a simple sentence, like "the sky is blue".
T - Time to call 911
It is time to call 911 if the person shows any of these symptoms. Note what time symptoms started and try to get them to the hospital as soon as possible, even if symptoms go away.

It makes sense that diabetes and cardiovascular/heart disease often go hand in hand since diabetes can significantly affect blood vessels. 4 common heart diseases include:
Coronary Artery Disease: Plaque buildup in the coronary artery walls allow narrowed or blocked blood flow to the heart.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD):
Blood flow to the limbs, often the legs, is reduced due to narrowed or blocked arteries.
Stroke: Blood supply to the brain is blocked or interrupted, which may lead to brain damage.
Congestive Heart Failure: The heart loses ability to pump blood effectively. This may lead to a back up in blood flow and allow fluid to build up in the lungs.

People with chronically high blood sugar or diabetes are more likely to have other conditions that may put them at greater risk of heart disease. Some common conditions affecting your heart include:
High blood pressure/hypertension: Increased force of blood flowing through the arteries can damage artery walls
High LDL Cholesterol: May cause plaque formation and lead to blocked or damaged arteries
High Triglycerides: May contribute to the hardening of arteries, especially if LDL cholesterol is high or HDL cholesterol is low

Protein is an important component of a healthy balanced diet. Meat is not the only option for protein so here are some meatless protein options:
Nuts: Brazils, cashews, almonds, walnuts ex. 1 oz. almonds (about 23 almonds or 1/4 cup) = 6g protein
Legumes: Beans, peas, lentils, soy, peanuts (peanuts are considered legumes and not true nuts) Ex. 1/2 cup of shelled edamame = 9g protein
Grains: Brown rice, whole wheat breads/pastas, quinoa, buckwheat Ex. 1/2 cup cooked brown rice = 8g protein

Ingredients:
2 oz. sugar-free dark chocolate (such as Hershey's special dark chocolate mini bars), chopped
2 cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup skim milk
6 Tbsp whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
2 cups fresh raspberries

1. Add chopped chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute, then stir. If not completely melted, microwave for 30 more seconds and stir. Repeat microwaving and stirring if necessary until chocolate is smooth, but do not overcook.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whip Greek yogurt with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the honey, vanilla, and milk and mix again. Add the melted chocolate in a few batches, mix in between additions.
3. Once all the chocolate is mixed into the yogurt, divide the mouse into 6 portions. Top the portions with 1/3 cup raspberries and 1 Tbsp whipped topping.
