　　Recent studies have shown that women with diabetes are three times more likely to have a stroke than men who have it, Alexandra Kautzky-Willer from the Medical University of Vienna and the Vienna General Hospital said.

　　The reason for the increased risk is the disturbed blood sugar regulation, Kautzky-Willer said. "The vascular² function and blood coagulation³ are particularly unfavorable changes, which lead to women having a higher risk for the formation of thromboses."

　　She said the higher blood sugar levels are not the only problem. Hypertension, inflammations, and various lifestyle factors such as depression also play a role, meaning not only diabetes therapy should be sought.

　　"It is about a general lifestyle intervention⁴ and treatment of all risk factors," she said, adding increased exercise is important, as although e women generally eat healthier than men with less fat and red meat in their diets, they also engage in less activity.

　　Lifestyle changes implemented⁵ earlier on can also prevent gestational diabetes, a risk factor for type 2 diabetes later in life, and also cardiovascular disease, the expert said.
