Concomitant Peripheral Neuropathy and Type 2 Diabetes Impairs Postexercise Cutaneous Perfusion and Flowmotion.

Context: Type 2 diabetes and peripheral neuropathy exhibit microvascular dysfunction at rest. However, data regarding their microvascular perfusion during exercise remain scarce.

Objective: This study investigated changes in microvascular perfusion during postexercise recovery in those with type 2 diabetes, with or without peripheral neuropathy, as well as in healthy controls and those with obesity.
