The resulting endothelial damage compromises capillary walls and results in microaneurysms.
Which risk factors is associated with macrovascular complications of diabetes mellitus?The strongest risk factors for CVD and mortality in T1D continue to be hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetic kidney disease, insulin resistance and obesity (5–7).
What are the microvascular complications of diabetes?Definitions. Microvascular complications of diabetes are those long-term complications that affect small blood vessels. These typically include retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Retinopathy is divided into two main categories: Nonproliferative retinopathy and proliferative retinopathy.
Which complication of diabetes can cause hypoglycemic unawareness?In insulin-deficient diabetes (exogenous) insulin levels do not decrease as glucose levels fall, and the combination of deficient glucagon and epinephrine responses causes defective glucose counterregulation. Reduced sympathoadrenal responses cause hypoglycemia unawareness.
