WHAT CAUSES TYPE 2 DIABETES?
Type 2 diabetes develops when the body can’t properly break down sugar in the bloodstream, due to either not making enough of—or being unable to properly use—insulin. The exact cause of type 2 diabetes is unknown, but there are some factors linked to its development.
TYPE 2 DIABETES RISK FACTORS
- A history of high blood sugar, prediabetes, and/or diabetes during pregnancy
- Overweight and obesity
- Physical inactivity
- Genetics
- Family history
- Race and ethnicity
- Age
- High blood pressure
- Abnormal cholesterol
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF TYPE 2 DIABETES?
Type 2 diabetes symptoms can develop slowly over time, allowing them to potentially go unnoticed for years. It's even possible for some people to not know they have type 2 diabetes, so it's important to be aware of the symptoms, including:

KNOW THE FACTS
Type 2 diabetes can increase your risk of dying from a cardiovascular (CV) event, even if your A1C is under control.
The Bottom Line: for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease,
The current American Diabetes Association® Standards of Care recommends SGLT2 inhibitors, which include empagliflozin (the active ingredient in JARDIANCE), as a treatment option for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, with or without metformin.
WHY YOUR HEART IS AT RISK
Over time, high blood sugar levels can cause plaque to build up in your blood vessels. This increases your risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease.
Heart disease, narrowing or blockage of the arteries, and/or a history of cardiovascular (CV) events like a heart attack or stroke are all forms of cardiovascular (CV) disease.
