[The medical effect of magnetic-laser therapy in patients with diabetic angiopathies of the lower extremities].

Conventional antidiabetic therapy with insulin and sugar-lowering agents helps in achieving compensation of diabetes mellitus but fails to exert high effect on subjective and objective manifestations of diabetic microangiopathies of the lower extremities. A course of magnetic-laser therapy results in significant reduction of concentration of the lipid oxidation products as one of the pathogenetic mechanisms of diabetic microangiopathies, normalization of immunologic reactivity as well as attenuation of clinical manifestations of hemocirculatory disorders in the lower extremities and improvement of parameters of thermo- and rheovasography.
