Abstract

Diabetes is a disease of major social and economic importance. In Western Europe it is estimated that approximately 2% of the population suffer from the condition. Not only is diabetes the most common cause of blindness between the ages of 20 and 60 years, but it is also one of the leading causes of renal failure and a powerful risk factor for coronary, cerebral and peripheral circulatory disease. Many diabetics also have abnormalities in peripheral and autonomic neural functions that lead to distressing and often debilitating symptoms. Before reviewing and discussing the literature on diabetes and hemorheology it would be helpful to outline the nature of diabetes and to examine the pathophysiology of some of these diabetic complications, so that rheological changes can be seen in the context of the overall pathology that they are reported to induce. At the end of the chapter rheological abnormalities in diabetes will be discussed in relation to other factors that diabetologists think might be of importance in the etiology and progression of these lesions.
