What Does Pvd Diabetes Mean
Diabetes is a disease of increased blood glucose levels. Glucose is a type of sugar that comes from the intake of food. Insulin is a type of hormone that removes the glucose from the blood and moves it into the cells to provide them with energy. There are two different types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.

Type 2 diabetes, which is commonly associated with obesity, is when the body is either resistant to the effects of insulin or when the body does not produce enough insulin.

What does borderline Peripheral vascular disease on ankle brachial index test mean? It was 0.93. I had Normal Calcium Score/CTA.
PVD, PAD: i would not call an ABI of .93 borderline PVD (peripheral vascular disease). It is normal. If you divide the arm blood pressure by the ankle pressure the number should be 1.0.

Again, an ABI of 0.93 is normal ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
