Every 3 minutes one person in Canada is diagnosed with diabetes. Chances are that diabetes affects you or someone you know.

To gain insights into the complex relationship between lymphedema and diabetes, you might be interested in reading this 2019 open access article from Frontiers in Physiology. It summarizes recent advances in the field, discussing how lymphatic abnormality promotes obesity and insulin resistance, and, conversely, how the metabolic syndrome impairs lymphatic function. It also discusses lymphatic biology in metabolically dysregulated diseases, including type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction.
