Talk to your doctor about it and see what they say about it??

Dotty, atherosclerosis is another way to say hardening of the arteries. I have "plaque" accumulating in a couple arteries enough that a portion of my heart is not getting enough oxygen. I think though that it was my stress that was affecting my blood glucose levels and not that. I've calmed down, the procedure is rescheduled and I'm seeing really good numbers again.

I’m not sure, I really don’t know what that means

Hypo and hyper can both increase atherosclerosis.Google atherosclerosis and blood glucose for more details

It might if it makes u less mobile/active
