The association of type 2 diabetes mellitus with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease has been extensively documented, but the origins of this association remain largely in the realm of hypotheses. With surprisingly few insights into mechanisms of increased cardiovascular disease risk, efforts to shed new light on this important question are welcome.
