Patients with type 2 diabetes have higher global MBF at rest and lower maximal MBF during vasodilator-induced stress than control subjects. Reduced MBF during stress is associated with diabetes complications (albuminuria and retinopathy) and is inversely correlated with diffuse myocardial fibrosis.
