Thank-you for confirming what diagnosis from my recent MRI. For 30 years I have been a diabetic, I am 71 now. No Dr or neurologist told me that diabetes could damage your brain getting Microvascular Inshemnia. Why is this not made more public that this can happen with high glucose and blood pressure??

In most people that have cerebral microvascular ischemia the cause is plaque build-up, the same as cardio vascular disease (as in my case). I'm not sure about the relationship with diabetes or blood pressure. You really can't treat it but a healthy life style may slow progression. Mine seems to have slowed down (maybe wishful thinking!)
