How to Evaluate Microcirculation in Diabetics
by Jennifer Boadilla CircularityhealthcareEvaluating
microcirculation in diabetics early on can help to develop a treatment plan
that can help avoid complications like amputations. In the case of patient Rose
D, early intervention helped save her great toe from amputation. Rose was a
63-year-old woman with a history of obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol,
and severe diabetes with uncontrolled blood sugar levels. After suffering from
an ingrown toenail, she later developed a large, deep, and bleeding ulcer on
the tip of her left great toe. Analysis at a vascular surgery clinic clearly
showed she was suffering from microcirculation malfunction due to her
uncontrolled diabetes. Rose participated in a treatment regimen, consisting of
strict blood sugar control and treatment with the transdermal vasodilator
D’OXYVA, which effectively healed her ulcer and prevented amputation of her
left great toe.
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes
is a condition in which the pancreas is not able to produce the hormone
insulin, which controls blood sugar levels, leading to abnormally high blood
sugar levels. Elevated blood sugars can then cause damage to the large and
small blood vessels supplying the eyes, feet, kidneys, heart, and nervous
system, leading to end organ damage and organ failure.
Symptoms of Diabetic Complications in
the Feet
Symptoms
of diabetes mellitus-related foot complications include the following:
ü Changes in the skin color
of the feet
ü Ankle or foot swelling
ü Numbness of the feet or
toes
ü Leg pain
ü Open sore on the feet
ü Slow healing of wounds or
ulcers
ü Ingrown toenails
ü Fungal infections of the
toenails
ü Corns or calluses that
bleed
ü Dryness and cracking of the
heel
Avoiding Diabetic Foot Ulcers
The
risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers can be reduced by
ü Wearing appropriate shoes
ü Checking feet for cracks,
redness, or ulcers daily
ü Carefully controlling and
checking blood sugars
ü Reducing risk factors like
smoking and drinking alcohol
ü Monitoring cholesterol
levels
ü Reducing friction and
abnormal pressure on the feet
ü Taking all possible
measures to increase blood flow D’OXYVA
How Does Diabetes Affect
Microcirculation?
Method
2 – Skin Pulp Blood Flow
Skin pulp blood flow refers to the amount of blood flow in the pulp areas of the toes. This can be evaluated either by laser doppler fluxmetry, which measures the flow of red blood cells, or by comparing blood flows after administering a vasodilator (vasoreactivity).
Patients
with severely reduced blood flow due to microcirculation damage from type 2
diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of developing complications such as
painful foot ulcers. This is due to reduced blood flow and nerve damage, which
prevent avoidance of undue friction and rubbing. Evaluating microcirculation
dysfunction due to diabetes early in the course of the disease and treatment
with modalities like D’OXYVA can help avoid complications like amputations.
HOW D’OXYVA CAN HELP?
Clinical
studies with D’OXYVA (deoxyhemoglobin vasodilator)
have shown* extraordinary results for the role of transdermal non-invasive
wound care using ultra-purified, non-toxic FDA-cleared molecules, such as CO2,
especially when all other approaches failed.
In an ongoing
multi-year, multi-country, multi-center, randomized clinical trial on patients
with diabetic foot ulcers, D’OXYVA has demonstrated speeding up diabetic wound
healing and ultimately wound closure to an average of 5 weeks.
