People with diabetes are more likely to suffer from heart disease because over time, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and the nerves that control your heart.

Blood sugar is derived from the food we eat, it is the main sugar found in blood.
Over time, high blood glucose levels can damage the body's organs. Possible long-term effects include damage to large (macrovascular) and small (microvascular) blood vessels, which can lead to heart attack, stroke, and problems with the kidneys, eyes, gums, feet and nerves.
Whether it can cure cardiovascular disease is still a doubt. But weight loss caused due to intermittant fasting can definetely help in lowering blood sugar levels which in turn can help manage diabetes better.
