T2DM patients without DR showed decreased VD in the SCP and DCP. The microvascular impairment of the DCP in patients with T2DM ≥ 10 years was in particular, more severe. Additionally, ischemia caused by hypertension and accumulated impairment of microvasculature due to prolonged T2DM would affect the DCP.
