Today we’re going to talk about what sugar and your arteries. For a diabetic, probably the biggest damage from high amounts of sugar in the blood is done to the vascular system. 

The macrovascular system:

These are the large vessels like the coronary artery, which supplies the heart muscle. This also includes peripheral arteries throughout the body. 

The microvascular system:

These are small capillaries that go to the retina in the eye, the kidneys, and the nerves in your feet and hands. 

Sugar basically rusts out your vascular system. It creates all sorts of oxidation. The layer of the inside of the blood vessel is called the endothelium. The endothelium controls the tone of the blood vessels, and it prevents things from invading the blood vessels. The endothelium is also highly sensitive to too much sugar. 

Glucose can create inflammation in the arteries, which is the beginning stage of a sequence of events that can end in a blockage in your artery.
