Why Early Screening Matters: Diabetes + PAD Risk
People with diabetes are at a higher risk for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) — often without realizing it. PAD can progress silently until symptoms become serious.

Why screening matters:
• Detects poor circulation early
• Reduces risk of ulcers and infections
• Helps prevent amputations
• Protects long-term heart and vascular health

If you’ve noticed leg pain, cold feet, numbness, or slow-healing wounds, don’t wait. Early detection saves lives.

What High Blood Sugar Does to Your Arteries High blood sugar doesn’t just impact your energy — it puts stress on your arteries every single day.
Over time, elevated glucose levels can:
• Damage the inner walls of your blood vessels
• Make arteries stiff and less flexible
• Accelerate plaque buildup
• Reduce oxygen flow to your legs and feet

This is why diabetes and Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) often go hand-in-hand. Understanding the connection is the first step toward prevention.

Leg Pain While Walking? It’s Not Just Aging.

If you feel cramping or pain in your calves when you walk — and it eases once you rest — this could be an early sign of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Diabetes significantly increases your risk of developing PAD earlier and more aggressively, so early awareness is key.
Common symptoms to watch for:
• Pain or cramping with walking
• Cold or pale feet
• Tingling or numbness
• Non-healing sores on toes or legs

Don’t ignore what your legs are trying to tell you. Early detection can prevent serious complications.

Diabetes & PAD: Quick Facts You Should Know

Did you know that diabetes can affect more than your blood sugar? High sugar levels can damage your blood vessels, making them stiff or narrow. Over time, this increases the risk of plaque buildup, leading to Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).
Early warning signs of PAD may include:
• Leg pain or cramping when walking
• Cold or numb feet
• Slow-healing sores on the legs or feet
• Tingling or discoloration

Don’t ignore changes in your legs or feet. Early diagnosis can prevent serious complications. We’re here to help protect your vascular health. 📞

How Diabetes Can Lead to PAD — The Science in Simple Terms
Think of your blood vessels like flexible tubes.
When blood sugar stays high for long periods, it can damage the inner lining of your blood vessels, making them stiffer and narrower. This allows plaque to build up more easily — which slows blood flow and can lead to Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).
Common early signs of PAD may include:
• Cramping or pain in your legs while walking
• Cold feet or toes
• Numbness or tingling
• Sores on your feet that don’t heal

If these symptoms sound familiar, your blood vessels may be trying to tell you something.

Early evaluation can help prevent serious complications.

💬 Let’s Talk Leg Health: Why Do Venous Ulcers Happen?

🩵 Q: Why do these ulcers happen?
Answer: Venous ulcers usually develop because of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — a condition where the valves in your leg veins stop working properly.

Normally, these tiny valves keep blood flowing upward toward the heart. But when they weaken or become damaged, blood begins to pool in the legs, increasing pressure inside the veins.
Over time, this pressure causes swelling, skin damage, and eventually, slow-healing or recurring wounds — known as Venous Stasis Ulcers.

👩‍⚕️ At CC Vascular Medicine and Imaging, Dr. Carmel Celestin specializes in identifying and treating these underlying circulation issues.

Our personalized approach focuses on:
✔️ Improving blood flow through compression and advanced therapies
✔️ Promoting wound healing with targeted care
✔️ Preventing future ulcers with lifestyle and medical strategies

✨ Healthy circulation = healthy skin.
If you’ve noticed swelling, dark discoloration, or a sore that won’t heal — it’s time to have your veins checked.
