Abstract

This investigation is focused on assessing the potentialities of computer capillaroscopy for early noninvasive revealing microcirculation disorders in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 and compare their microcirculation parameters with those of healthy volunteers and patients suffering from diabetes mellitus type 2 with established duration of disease (14,7±7,8 years). The obtained results show, that patients with newly diagnosed DM type 2 have similar changes of microcirculation as the patients suffering from DM, type 2 with established duration of disease.
