[Microcirculation and blood coagulation in patients with diabetes mellitus undergoing antidiabetic therapy of different types].

A comparative study of the peculiarities of the course of diabetes and metabolic disturbances, and also of the indices of capillary permeability, biomicroscopy of the conjunctival vessels, platelet aggregation, coagulorgam and blood clot retraction was carried out in the group of patients treated with insulin and sacharreducing sulfanilamides. Marked derangements in the microcirculatory system concerning both the vascular wall proper and of the rheological properties of the blood were revealed. These derangements were more distinct in the patients over 45 years of age with prolonged affection and the presence of vascular complications but proved to be independent of the therapy carried out.
