Detailed field: Medical (general) | Source text - English
Diabetes is on the rise. Today, about 16 million people have the disease.
But just 10 years ago, approximately 11 million people had it. Why is diabetes a
growing problem? Among the reasons: People who weigh too much and do not
get enough exercise have a higher risk for type 2 diabetes. And now there are more overweight people. In the past 10 years, the number of obese people has
jumped more than 50%. About a third of those with diabetes don’t know they
have it. That is a troubling fact. Why? All people with diabetes have a higher risk
for heart disease. A man’s risk is doubled. And for women with diabetes, it is
worse. They are four times more likely to have heart disease.
People with diabetes tend to be overweight. They often have high blood pressure
and high cholesterol.
WATCH OUT FOR THESE SYMPTOMS
If you have any of the warning signs of diabetes listed below, see your doctor as
soon as possible. Remember: You can have diabetes without symptoms, too.
Keeping tabs on all risk factors for heart disease is important. With their doctor’s
help, people with diabetes should set goals for controlling blood sugar. They also
need goals for managing other risk factors for heart disease. Meeting those goals
will help protect their hearts and their health.

WARNINGS
• Cardiac catheterization procedures present the potential for significant x-ray exposure, which can result in acute radiation injury as well as increased risk for somatic and genetic effects, to both patients and laboratory staff due to the x-ray beam intensity and duration of the fluoroscopic imaging.
• Cardiac catheterization should only be performed after adequate attention has been given to the potential radiation exposure associated with the procedure, and steps taken to minimize this exposure.
• Do not immerse the proximal handle or cable connector in fluids; electrical performance could be affected.
• Do not introduce the Catheter into a guiding sheath with its distal spines folded backwards (i.e., toward the handle). Collapse the spines together prior to insertion.
• Note: Do not use the Catheter in conjunction with transseptal sheaths featuring side holes larger than 1.25 mm in diameter
