MY BELOVED BROTHER WAS DIANOSED WITH DIABETES ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. HE WAS TAKING HIS MEDICATIONS AND EATTING PROPERLY BUT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS AND HAD TO RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL WITH WHAT WAS CALLED CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. HE WAS RELEASED AFTER CHEST XRAY/MRI/BLOOD TESTS ETC. AND TOLD THERE WAS NO HEART DAMAGE. HIS PREVIOUS TESTS STRESS TEST AND OTHERS WITHIN THE PREVIOUS FEW MONTHS WERE ALL OK TOO. NOW WE LOST HIM LAST FRIDAY...VERY SUDDENLY..WITH WHAT LOOKED LIKE CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE (GASPING FOR BREATH) AND THE DEATH CERTIFICATE SAYS ARTERIOSCLEROTIC CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. HOW CAN THIS BE? WE ARE DEVESTATED TO LOSE HIM BUT NOW ITS WORSE BECAUSE WE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A YOUNG MAN WITH SO MANY RECENT CARDITIC TESTS COULD NOW DIE OF A LONG TERM PROGRESSIVE DISEASE SO SUDDENLY. COULD ANYONE OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE? THANK YOU LAURIE...GREIVING SISTER
