AB  - BACKGROUND: The aim of this paper is to explore the application and clinical 
      significance of color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) in diagnosing lower extremity 
      vascular disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS: The lower 
      extremity arteries of 81 patients with T2DM and 50 control patients were examined 
      by CDU for blood vessel diameter, intima-media thickness, plaque on the vessel 
      wall, lumen stenosis and filling defect in blood flow. The occurrence of diabetes 
      mellitus was investigated in additional T2DM patients of various ages. RESULTS: 
      Left popliteal artery, left and right dorsal artery of the foot; the incidence of 
      atherosclerotic plaque, stenosis and occlusion of the lower extremity vascular 
      lumen of T2DM patients was significantly higher than that in the control group. 
      Vascular disease in the lower extremities was mainly small and medium vascular 
      disease (lower than popliteal artery), especially the dorsal artery of the foot, 
      for which the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The elder 
      patients had a greater chance of lower extremity arterial disease. CONCLUSIONS: 
      CDU is the examination method of preference for T2DM patients with lower 
      extremity vascular disease. It has a very important clinical significance for 
      early diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
