What Precautions Should Be Taken For Peripheral Arterial Disease In A Diabetic?
Hi there, I am 39 years old male who has a long term Diabetes Type 1 for over 18 years. I live in the UK. I also have Peripheral Arterial Disease which resulted in 3 major operations on my right leg. I do not know how to prevent these affects as I am almost vegetarian and non smoker. I have also applied for DLA as I have many other side affects i.e. skin conditions, hiatus hernia, high blood pressure, etc. would you give me some advice please?
Thanks
