[State of the cerebral circulation according to radiocirculographic data in patients with diabetes mellitus].

Cerebral circulation velocity was studied by the method of radiociruclography in patients (101) with various forms of diabetes mellitus. There was revealed a decrease in this velocity in the majority (2/3) of these patients. Early preclinical forms of affections of the vessels of the brain were revealed, and the degree of these changes was established. This method permitted to detect an association between a disturbed cerebral circulation and the most frequent complication occurring in patients with diabetes mellitus (atherosclerosis and microangiopathies).
