Can diabetes cause chronic microvascular ischemic change in brain?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unfortunately YES: Diabetes is one of many causes of accelerated cerebral artery and arteriole constriction due to atherosclerosis. Other causes include aging, hypertension, high lipids, elevated homocysteine, and perhaps vasculitis or arteritis. In some cases, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome may be a culprit. These lesions may warn of future stroke.
