  		Figure 1 Diabetes confers the same risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in a patient without history of MI as a prior MI in a nondiabetic patient. Data are from an observational study of 1,373 nondiabetic subjects and 1,059 diabetic subjects in Finland after 8 years of follow-up. On the basis of data presented by Haffner et al. (3).
