Abstract

Stroke or cerebrovascular disease is one of the main causes of death globally. The incidence of stroke is linked to the persistent rise in the prevalence of risk factors like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. As a significant risk factor for stroke, this chapter discussed the impact of diabetes on stroke events. It summarises the pathophysiology of hyperglycaemia and additional other co-existing common risk factors leading to stroke events. Likewise, this chapter discusses the clinical implications, management approach to diabetes with stroke events and preventive strategies to reduce stroke risk. The comprehensive medical intervention of diabetes, alongside other associated risk factors management, together with effective healthy lifestyle changes, is an essential and effective strategy to lower the risk of stroke in patients with T2DM.
