Cover Story: Hyperglycemia is a well-established cardiovascular disease risk. Hyperglycemia-induced vascular dysfunction can confound the outcomes from existing chronic cardiopulmonary diseases. Addressing preventive measures with regards to maintaining normoglycemia can not only improve clinical outcomes in diabetes, but also in chronic lung diseases such as asthma, pulmonary hypertension and chronic obstructive lung disease. Indeed, future preventive approaches that are informed by phenomics and machine learning may be able to predict which patients with underlying cardiopulmonary disease would benefit the most from nutritional and exercise regimens to reduce inflammation from borderline hyperglycemia, even before a formal diagnosis of diabetes is made.
