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.
