The association of diabetic microvascular and macrovascular disease with cutaneous circulation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
To study the impact of diabetic neuropathy, both peripheral sensorimotor (DPN) and cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), on transcutaneous oxygen tension (TcPO2) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). ⋯ Presence of DPN is independently associated with impaired cutaneous perfusion. Low TcPO2 in subjects with DPN may contribute to delay in healing of diabetic foot ulcers, irrespectively of PAD.
