Study Notes

Chronic Complications of Diabetes

Optimal blood sugar control is the most important method for reducing the risk of diabetes complications.
Improving blood flow and delivery of nutrients/oxygen to tissues is a key goal in managing complications.
Diabetes significantly damages the body's vascular system.
Glycosylation of proteins and increased oxidative damage contribute to vascular disease.
Endothelial cell dysfunction is a significant factor in vascular disease development in diabetics.
Endothelial cells line all blood vessels, acting as a metabolic interface between blood and vessels.
Endothelial cells actively regulate blood flow, coagulation, clot formation, and key regulator compounds (e.g., blood pressure).
Endothelial cells are vulnerable to damage.
