  2. Diabetes is a Cardiovascular disease. • The concept of Endothelial Dysfunction (ED). • Mechanisms of ED in diabetes:- Initiation ( trigger ) phase of ED: (Hyperglycemia - induced ED) Transition from initiation to maintenance phase of ED: (Formation of AGEs) Maintenance phase of ED: (Tightly linked to accumulation of AGEs) • Hyperinsulinemia / insulin resistance and ED .
