How can clogged blood vessels hurt my legs and feet?
Peripheral vascular (puh-rif-uh-rul vas-kyoo-ler) disease can happen when the openings in your blood vessels become narrow and not enough blood gets to your legs and feet. You may feel pain in your buttocks, the back of your legs, or your thighs when you stand, walk, or exercise. To help prevent these problems, don’t smoke. Exercise and keep blood pressure under control. Keep blood fats close to normal. You also may need surgery to treat this problem.

How do my blood vessels get clogged and lead to high blood pressure?
Several things, including having diabetes, can make your blood cholesterol level too high. Cholesterol is a substance that is made by the body and used for many important functions. It is also found in some food derived from animals. When cholesterol is too high, the insides of large blood vessels become narrowed, even clogged. This problem is called atherosclerosis (ath-uh-row-skluh-ro-sis). Narrowed and clogged blood vessels make it harder for enough blood to get to all parts of your body. This can cause problems. Narrowed blood vessels leave a smaller opening for blood to flow through. It is like turning on a garden hose and holding your thumb over the opening. The smaller opening causes the water to shoot out with more pressure. In the same way, narrowed blood vessels lead to high blood pressure. Other factors, such as kidney problems and being overweight, also can lead to high blood pressure. Many people with diabetes also have high blood pressure. If you have heart, eye, or kidney problems from diabetes, high blood pressure can make them worse.
