Skin blood perfusion and fluorescence parameters in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus

This work represents the first stage of a study of microcirculation and oxidative metabolism parameters in the skin of women with type 1 diabetes mellitus in early stages of pregnancy. Laser Doppler flowmetry and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to record the diagnostic parameters in the study. The main parameters of LDF recordings of patients under the study (index of microcirculation in the upper and lower extremities, normalised amplitudes of blood flow oscillations), as well as normalised fluorescence values when excited with 365 nm light, were measured and presented.
