Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a systemic disease whose complications include peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This disease is characterized by accumulation of atheromatous plaques in the arterioles; PAD is much more aggressive in diabetics, with a 1% increase in HbA1c it produces a 25% increase in the risk of PAD, for which the ankle-brachial index is a useful tool to determine the involvement of the lower limbs and the cardiovascular damage. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of PAD in patients with T2DM, risk factors that intervene in PAD and their relationship with the evolution of T2DM.
