Arteriosclerosis, the cause of peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), is a build-up of plaque in the arteries. Elevated blood sugar levels in the context of diabetes damage the arteries and promote the deposition of plaque. PAOD and neuropathy are among the most important predisposing factors of diabetic foot syndrome.
