Overview

There is an association between vascular complications and diabetes compensation in ambulatory as well as inpatient care. Diagnostics of vascular complications in diabetic patients are linked to increased risk of contrast‑induced nephropathy. Treatment of severe vascular complications usually requires hospitalization. Achieving and maintaining target glycaemia is essential. Compensation of hyperglycaemia must be sufficient and timely; the risk of hypoglycaemia must not be ignored. Target glycaemia values must be adjusted individually, insulin administration is usually preferred.

Key words:
complications of diabetes – comorbidities of diabetes – contrast‑induced nephropathy – target glycaemia – cardiovascular risk – diabetes mellitus
