Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. The prevalence of CVD is much higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who may benefit from lifestyle changes, which include adapted diets. In this review, we provide the role of different groups of nutrients in patients with T2DM and CVD, as well as dietary approaches that have been associated with better and worse outcomes in those patients. Many different diets and supplements have proved to be beneficial in T2DM and CVD, but further studies, guidelines, and dietary recommendations are particularly required for patients with both diseases.

Gender plays a pivotal role in the onset as well as in the progression of the cardiovascular disease with a higher morbidity and mortality being detected in men with respect to women. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) may reduce gender-related differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease by fading the vascular protective effects afforded by estrogen in females. This article will discuss the role of sex and sex hormones on the incidence and mechanisms involved in vascular dysfunction associated to T2DM, which might explain why women with T2DM lack the vascular protection.

In recent years, the comorbid course of cardiovascular diseases, primarily arterial hypertension with impaired carbohydrate tolerance or type 2 diabetes mellitus, is becoming increasingly important in the developed countries of the world. In this regard, the need for a more detailed study of the general mechanisms of the development of arterial hypertension, pre-diabetes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, namely inflammation, is increasing. There are many studies that investigate the role of inflammation in hypertension and associated glucometabolic disorders, but the exact mechanisms by which activated immune cells lead to the development and maintenance of these conditions remain to be seen. Obtaining new data in this area may contribute to a deeper understanding of cardiometabolic disorder pathogenesis. It may allow to predict the progression of these disorders at the early stages and to develop effective preventive and therapeutic tactics for their correction.
