Objective To observe the hemodynamic change of small artery in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods We measured peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), pulse index (PI), resistance index (RI) of ocular artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), finger artery, dorsal pedis artery and interlobar artery of patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes. Results The decrease in PSV and EDV values occurred early in CRA of type 2 diabetics while RI and PI values increased. Conclusion The hemodynamic change of CRA occurs earliest among general small arteries of type 2 diabetic patients.
