title: [Homocysteine and diabetes].
abstract: The authors present the current knowledge on the role of hyperhomocysteinemia in developing of vascular changes, especially in diabetes. A high serum homocysteine concentration is a new independent risk factor in the development of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. The role of the hyperhomocysteinemia in diabetes has not been explained yet. Probably hyperhomocysteinemia affects the clinical course, metabolic control and possible complications of diabetes mainly by its influence on the development of macro- and microangiopathy.
