Hi, I have a question I am very curious about. I read somewhere something about Raynaud's syndrome. The article also had content about diabetes. I was wondering if you could tell me something more about the way these two conditions are connected and whether there is a connection at all, because the article wasn't quite clear about this issue.

Hi, Raynaud's syndrome is, in my opinion, a strange circulation disorder. It seems that it is very difficult to confirm the link between this condition and diabetes. But there are some scientists that have made it possible. Raynaud's disease is a condition whose characteristics are periodic insufficient blood supply of some body parts, especially toes and fingers. This happens when it is cold and with sudden temperature changes. Stress has also been found as a cause of it. When conditions for this disease are fulfilled, the fingers and toes turn white and go numb making it impossible to use them. The scientists, that I have mentioned previously, have found out that people that suffer from diabetes are more likely to develop Raynaud's. The treatment consists of exercises and cigarette and stress free life. Vasodilators drug or calcium channel blockers should be used for more severe cases.
