Q

_____ There is an acceleration in the development of arteriosclerosis and an alteration in the balance between thromotic (increased) and fibrinolytic (decreased) factors. The combination of all of these factors promotes the cardiovascular disease that is seen in DM.

A

Macrovascular.

104
Q

_____ is the increased cognitive decline and risk of dementia observed in diabetes. Various mechanisms are proposed, including alterations to the vascular supply of the brain and the interaction of insulin with the brain itself/ elevated glucose levels

A

encephalopathy

105
Q

_____ disease affects the smallest blood vessels, the capillary and the precapillary arterioles.

A

Microvascular

106
Q

_____ in diabetes is the leading cause of end stage renal disease in the U.S.leading to dialysis. This results is an alteration in glomerular function. And is characterized by proteinuria, hypertension and progressive renal insufficiency. The thickening of the basement membranes of the glomerular capillaries leads to glomerular sclerosising:

  • Retinopathy growth of friable and poor-quality new blood vessels in the retina as well as macular edema which can lead to severe vision loss or blindnessRetinal damage (from microangiopathy) makes it the most common cause of blindness among non-elderly adults in the US.
A

Nephropathy

107
Q

_____ appears to be a combination of altered metabolism and vascular insufficiency. Changes in the cellular osmolality compromised neuronal function. In addition to this impaired blood flow reduces oxygen delivery to the nerves. The neuropathy seen in diabetic patients is most probably due to a combination of these and other factors. abnormal and decreased sensation, usually in a ‘glove and stocking’ distribution starting with the feet but potentially in other nerves, later often fingers and hands. When combined with damaged blood vessels this can lead to diabetic foot .
