Living with diabetes may reshape the heart long before symptoms appear

Recent research from Sydney University uncovers that type 2 diabetes can profoundly change the heart's structure, resulting in increased stiffness and reduced strength. This microscopic deterioration in heart tissue disrupts essential muscle fibres and the body's energy production, paving the way for potential heart failure.
