hi
insignificant blockage means that the blockage is mild.
it is usually controlled by drugs,like anti-platelets,anti-cholesterol drugs so that the blockage should not increase.
in diabetic patients there are more chances of cardiac problems.
please control your diet, sugar levels,reduce oily foods & stress.
please continue with the cardiac medications regularly.
all the best, take care.
