What is Diabetic Vascular Disease?

Diabetic vascular disease refers to a condition where individuals with diabetes experience compromised blood flow to their legs and feet. Diabetes can damage blood vessels, leading to atherosclerosis, a buildup of plaque that narrows and hardens the arteries. This condition, known as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), reduces blood circulation to the lower limbs, increasing the risk of complications such as non-healing ulcers, infections, and in severe cases, amputation. Patients who are diabetic and have any of these complications should schedule a consultation at StrideCare today.

What Causes Diabetic Vascular Disease?

Diabetic vascular disease occurs when arteries harden from uncontrolled blood sugar that is too high. Elevated levels of glucose in the blood can damage the walls of arteries and veins, leading to narrowed or blocked blood vessels. Other risk factors that may contribute to diabetic vascular disease include obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and a sedentary lifestyle.
