    Did you know? According to a recent article by our PH News team, a staggering 25% of PH patients also have diabetes.

    A fascinating study in Poland sheds light on the correlation between idiopathic PH and diabetes, revealing that those with both conditions tend to face more advanced pulmonary vascular disease and a lower survival rate.

    My hubby, Manny has diabetes, but he doesn’t have PH. His diabetes was considered borderline. But unfortunately, after we both had COVID the first time, his diabetes went crazy. He was off all medications and is now on two to control his blood sugar.

    Do we have anyone here with diabetes and PH? I thought we had heard this from several; members in the past, so hoping to hear from y’all.
