Which of the following is a microvascular complication of diabetes?

Retinopathy
CAD
Stroke
Aneurysm

The correct answer is: Retinopathy

A microvascular complication of diabetes involves damage to small blood vessels. Retinopathy refers to damage to the blood vessels in the retina of the eye due to diabetes. This condition is a common microvascular complication seen in individuals with diabetes. The other options, CAD (Coronary Artery Disease), Stroke, and Aneurysm, are not classified as microvascular complications of diabetes. CAD involves the narrowing of the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle, Stroke is a neurological condition involving blood vessel damage in the brain, and Aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of a blood vessel wall, none of which are specifically related to microvascular complications commonly seen in diabetes.
