If any issues are detected during these tests, prompt medical examination is crucial. Consult a vascular surgeon or discuss with the primary healthcare provider for individuals with existing blood sugar issues.
For those without apparent issues, preventive measures are crucial for maintaining vascular health.
Preventing Vascular Blockage with High Blood Sugar:
1. Regular Vascular Health Checkups:
- Annual vascular ultrasound examinations provide preliminary assessments of potential blockages.
- For diabetic patients, yearly eye exams, urinalysis, albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) tests, and creatinine blood tests are recommended. Monitoring microvascular conditions in the eyes and kidneys helps prevent complications.
