Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a well-studied metabolic disease related to insulin deficiency that leads to high risk of cardiovascular diseases. This paper presents a non-invasive, preventive approach to measure arterial parameters from photoplethysmograph (PPG) signals of diabetic subjects. A recently proposed Two Pulse Synthesis (TPS) model (Goswami, 2010) has been used to measure Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) of one group of 25 diabetic subjects without hypertension and another group of 45 diabetic subjects with hypertension. Results, presented through tables and figures, indicate appreciable changes in several TPS model-derived parameters due to diabetes and increase in PWV compared to normal subjects.
