ABSTRACT
the morphology and density of nailfold capillaries were evaluated in patients with Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus and in healthy controls, using videocapillaroscopy. A protocol of well-defined capillary patterns was used. Diabetic patients had more tortuous and enlarged capillaries than controls. Nodular apical elongation was found only in diabetics and was more frequent in patients with a longer history of disease. Type II diabetic patientes with chronic clinical complications had a higher frequency of enlarged capillaries and nodular apical elongation. Glycemic control was without influence. Capillary densitu did not differ among the groups
