No association between limb circulation and insulin measures in mild diabetes; leaves open longitudinal effects on vascular function.
Is there a relationship between arterial limb circulation and glucose tolerance, insulin response, or mild diabetes?
Sex, age, and body weight influence digital pulse plethysmography and distal blood pressure differences, whereas glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity have no major impact in clinically normal subjects or those with mild diabetes.
Bo Berglund (1980) studied this question.
