title: [Diabetes mellitus and the cerebrovascular disease].
abstract: Diabetes mellitus is, so called, the disease of the blood vessel. Indeed in many cases, atherosclerosis is already developed from the prediabetic state because of an existence of insulin resistance. Therefore, it is very important to elucidate the pathophysiological relationship between diabetes and cerebrovascular disease accompanied with intravascular calcium precipitation. Here we introduce the recent topics about the underlying relation between diabetes and cerebrovascular disease with atherosclerotic disorders.
