Diabetes mellitus is the one of the most important risk factors of coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction are diagnosed 2 to 4 times more frequently in diabetic patients. However, good diabetes metabolic control, lipid metabolism and proper blood pressure play the most important roles in reduction of cardiovascular risk in these patients. We present a history of a 60-year-old patient with diabetes mellitus and recurrent acute coronary syndromes. The coronarography revealed insignificant atherosclerotic lesions in coronary vessels. However, we observed very unsatisfactory metabolic control of diabetes and too little engagement of the patient in the therapeutic process during a period of one year and a half of observation.
