I read with great interest the article by Sörensen and colleagues 1 dealing with the microvascular dysfunction in subjects with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The results of their study demonstrated that retina and skin microvascular function determined by flicker light–induced retinal arteriolar dilatation and heat-induced skin hyperemia might be impaired in prediabetes with further deterioration in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, the authors showed the inverse linear associations between measures of glycemia and microvascular function. These findings support the hypothesis that generalized microvascular dysfunction might precede the clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and contribute to the development of microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, heart failure, stroke, and cognitive decline. The authors proposed that both early hyperglycemia and microvascular dysfunction should be considered potential targets of intervention for reducing the microvascular complications in (pre) diabetes.Evidence indicates that erythrocyte rheological properties might be closely associated with disturbed microcirculation and microangiopathy. Koscielny et al 2 showed that morphological changes in the microcirculation of the skin and retina such as dilatations of venous branches and rigid erythrocytes were obvious in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus compared with healthy children. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the deformability of erythrocytes determined by a dual optical tweezers stretching technique was significantly lower in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus with retinopathy than in normal healthy control subjects. 3 We also observed changes in membrane fluidity of erythrocytes in chronic kidney disease and nephropathy by using an electron spin resonance method and found that reduced membrane fluidity of erythrocytes might be associated with decreased levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate and plasma nitric oxide metabolites. 4
