Резюме: The aim of the study is to investigate the possibility of assessing disorders in the regulatory mechanism of the microcirculatory vascular tone in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2) by applying a wavelet analysis of skin temperature fluctuations (WAST). Using this approach for non-invasive assessment, the temperature fluctuations of the skin surface - in the range of oscillations from 0.0095 to 0.02 Hz, were examined. The study showed that in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus impairment of skin vasodilation and vasoconstriction - in response to local heating and cold tests, was evaluated.
