Association of impaired fasting glucose, diabetes and their management with the presentation and outcome of peripheral artery disease: a cohort study
Conclusions:
Non-medicated diabetes is common in peripheral artery disease patients and associated with poor outcomes. Impaired fasting glucose is also common but does not increase intermediate term complications. Peripheral artery disease patients with diabetes requiring insulin are at high risk of intermediate term mortality.
