Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the metabolism of carbohydrates (sugar) as well as protein and fat (cholesterol) is impaired. It is often accompanied by high blood pressure (high blood pressure) and cholesterol levels. As such, it is one of the most important causes of arteriosclerosis.

Clogging of the leg veins can cause limping when walking.
