National Diabetes Heart Connection Day is a reminder that protecting your heart is part of protecting your kidneys. High blood sugar from diabetes can damage blood vessels and reduce the heart’s and kidneys’ ability to work together, increasing risk for both cardiovascular and kidney complications.
