Abstract

The peripheral vascular occlusion in the diabetes was studied in fifty-nine male and forty-six female diabetic patients by means of doppler flow meter performed on the dorsalis pedis arteries & post. tibial arteries of the both lower limbs. Patients were divided into two groups, one with occlusion and the other without occlusion. Various predisposing factors causing peripheral vascular occlusions were examined. The results are summerized as follows: 1. Peripheral vascular occlusions were more prevalent in male than in female (male: 25.4%, female: 17.4%). 2. In male patients age, plasma cholesterol level & smoking were statically significant among the various predisposing factors between occlusion & nonocclusion groups. 3. In female patients, duration of diabetes mellitus and the sugar levels of fasting blood and post prandial 2 hours were statiscally significant.
