diabetic microangiopathy disease intracerebral hemorrhage lobar intracerebral hemorrhage			2]-weighted MRI techniques are improving the ability to detect microbleeds, which are clear markers of hypertensive vasculopathy, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and other underlying small vessel disease. Imaging advances boost microbleed detection by Brunk, Doug / Clinical Psychiatry News These diabetes complications are related to blood vessel diseases and are generally classified into small vessel disease, such as those involving the eyes, kidneys and nerves (microvascular disease), and large vessel disease involving the heart and blood vessels (macrovascular disease). Diabetes unmasked by Gulf Weekly When microbleeds occur in certain brain areas, they may indicate a type of small vessel disease known as cerebral amyloid angiopathy, in which the accumulation of amyloid (a protein often related to Alzheimer's disease) causes degeneration of smooth muscle cells and increases the susceptibility of blood vessels to ruptures and hemorrhages.
