Healthy Blood Vessel Clinic - Protecting Your Cardiovascular Health
What is Diabetic Vascular Disease?
Diabetic vascular disease refers to the development of blockages in the arteries throughout the body due to diabetes. This condition occurs when excess glucose in the bloodstream damages arteries, leading to complications. Diabetes means when the body’s inability produce or use insulin efficiently, a hormone essential for transporting glucose from the bloodstream into cells where it's converted into energy.
Diabetes increases the risk of developing several vascular diseases. One such condition is retinopathy, characterized by abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, potentially leading to vision loss. Additionally, diabetes can cause nephropathy, a kidney disease that impairs renal function. Other linked conditions include hardening of arteries, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and neuropathy - a nerve damage condition causing loss of sensation in the toes or feet.
Managing diabetic vascular disease requires a comprehensive approach. Working closely with your healthcare team is crucial to control blood sugar levels, monitor cholesterol and blood pressure, and adopt healthy lifestyle habits. Regular check-ups and timely interventions can significantly mitigate the risk of complications.
