In order to investigate the patterns of disease distribution and prevalence of atherosclerotic lesions in the local diabetic population (Type II of Dictbets Melitus), the present study was designed. Twenty one patients were studied as an initial trial, trying to develop methodology for the work. A combination of clinical, non-invasive and radiological examination was used. Ail patients were assimptomatic from the vascular pint of view and the clinical and radiological examinations were normal, as expected. The non-invasive test, reactive hiperemia, was the only positive test for incipient disease in 35% of the limbs. We concluded that the reactive hiperernia test can be used as a screenig test for the vascular involvement of patients with Diabetes Melitus in an outpatient basis, as a follow up test.
