People under age 40 diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are more likely to have or die from cardiovascular disease than people of a similar age who do not have type 2 diabetes. The excess cardiovascular risks were more pronounced in younger women with type 2 diabetes and excess risk significantly decreased in those who develop diabetes much later in life.
