Diabetes is associated with altered blood viscosity and abnormal tissue oxygenation. Transcutaneous oxygen tension is measured in 119 diabetic and 20 normal subjects. Measurements of transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) are made by Oxymonitor SM 361 at 45 degrees C at the dorsum of the foot. At th...
