Diabetic Vascular Disease Care in Lahore

Book your visit

Diabetic vascular disease is the narrowing and hardening of the arteries caused by long-standing high blood sugar. This narrowing cuts the blood flow to the legs and feet, so wounds heal slowly and ulcers and infection become more likely. The clinic's part in Lahore is checking your circulation and controlling sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and smoking, and an artery that needs a procedure goes to a vascular surgeon by referral.

How Diabetes Narrows the Arteries

Raised blood sugar lets fatty deposits build up inside the artery walls, so less blood reaches the legs, the feet and other organs.

When the arteries to the limbs are affected, it is called peripheral arterial disease. The same process that narrows the leg arteries also affects the heart and brain, so looking after your blood vessels lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke as well.

Symptoms of Diabetic Vascular Disease

The main signs show up in the legs and feet, and leg pain on walking that eases with rest is the classic one.

Leg Pain When Walking

Cramping or aching in the calves or thighs that comes on with walking and eases with rest.

Cold Feet and Toes

Feet or toes that feel persistently cold or numb can signal poor blood flow.

Slow-Healing Wounds

Cuts, sores or ulcers on the feet and legs that are slow to heal or keep coming back.

Pale or Bluish Skin

Skin on the legs or feet that looks pale or takes on a bluish tinge.

Weak or Absent Pulse

A weak or missing pulse in the feet, which the doctor checks during your examination.

Hair Loss and Shiny Skin

Less hair on the legs and feet, with thin, shiny skin from reduced circulation.

How Diabetic Vascular Disease Is Checked in Lahore

The doctor examines your legs and feet and uses simple circulation tests, and reviews your sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol to judge your overall risk.

What Raises Your Risk?

Six things speed up artery damage: high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, long-standing diabetes and extra weight.

High Blood Sugar

The main driver of damage to the artery walls.

High Blood Pressure

Raised pressure stiffens and strains arteries throughout the body.

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol speeds up the fatty build-up that narrows your arteries.

Cigarette Smoking

Smoking sharply speeds artery damage and cuts blood flow to the limbs.

Years With Diabetes

Vascular disease becomes more likely the longer diabetes has been present.

Excess Weight

Extra weight adds to the load on your heart and blood vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can blood vessels damaged by diabetes be repaired?

Caught early, the narrowing can be slowed or stopped, which protects the arteries you have. A vessel that is already badly narrowed needs a surgeon's procedure instead.
