What are the options for treating PAD in Diabetes?

So, the treatment options go from least invasive to quite invasive. In the number of patients or all patients with diabetes who have peripheral arterial disease should be on specific medications for that and they should be medications which improve your blood sugar control and that will be looked after by either your diabetes doctor or your GP. You should also be on medications that thin your blood and these are medications like aspirin or clopidogrel and in certain patients they may have reasons to have even stronger blood thinners like rivaroxaban, apixaban or warfarin and which blood thinning medication you need will be determined by the overall picture of your medical situation, whether you've got problems with your heart or any other organ.
