Understanding the Link Between Vascular Disease & Diabetes

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Diabetes significantly increases the risk of developing vascular diseases. Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to poor circulation and a range of complications that affect both large (macrovascular) and small (microvascular) vessels.

People with diabetes are at greater risk of developing peripheral artery disease (PAD), carotid artery disease, and diabetic foot complications. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to prevent severe consequences like ulcers, infections, or even amputations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”4054″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”3″][vc_column_text]

How Vascular System Works

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The vascular system includes arteries, veins, and capillaries that transport blood throughout the body. Healthy blood vessels are essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues. When these vessels become damaged or blocked due to diabetes, blood flow is impaired, especially in the lower limbs.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Common Vascular Diseases in Diabetics

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

  1. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD):
     A condition where arteries in the legs become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow. It can lead to pain while walking (claudication), slow-healing wounds, and in severe cases, gangrene.
  2. Diabetic Foot Disease:
     Nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation can cause unnoticed injuries to the feet, which may become infected and develop into ulcers.
  3. Carotid Artery Disease:
     Blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the brain increase the risk of stroke.
  4. Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI):
     Damaged veins struggle to send blood from the legs back to the heart, causing swelling, skin changes, and sometimes ulcers.

  • Gangrene
  • Amputation
  • Stroke
  • Heart attack
