A patient with diabetes suffering with a septic foot. Unregulated hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose levels) leads to non-enzymic glycation of proteins in the walls of the blood vessels. This compromises the basement membrane of the smaller arterioles and capillaries, enabling the movement of proteins across it. As a result, the colloid pressure of the tissu
