Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Diabetes is a significant risk factor for long-term adverse outcomes, including mortality, heart failure, and recurrent stroke, in older patients following an ischemic stroke.
Among older IS patients diabetes was associated with increased risks of death, cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular hospitalizations, HF, and IS/TIA recurrence.
