The risk of developing vascular disease is greatly increased in people with type 2 diabetes. The use of risk assessment tools is considered. The use of cardiovascular risk tables can underestimate risk by up to 30%. However, multiple risk factor intervention is recognised to be of benefit in reducing vascular risk and treatment strategies should include antiplatelet therapy, a statin and antihypertensive medication.

Key Words: cardiovascular risk • type 2 diabetes • risk factor assessment.
