Climate Change and Cardiovascular Complications of Diabetes.

Key takeaways

This is a discussion piece about how heat waves, cold snaps, and air pollution raise heart and kidney risk for people with diabetes. It notes that people with diabetes handle heat poorly, dehydrate more easily, and often already have kidney or heart disease. There are no new results in it. The practical takeaway is that extreme weather is a real risk period if your kidneys are already struggling.
