Why reabsorption of tissue fluid into the blood in the capillaries is reduced in people whose diet is very low in protein?

If you're not getting enough protein in your diet the body turns on itself and starts to consume it's own proteins. These are the structural proteins in cells and tissues and the soluble proteins (including blood proteins, enzymes, antibodies and the like). This leads to loss of tissue and a reduction in the concentration of blood proteins. These soluble blood proteins - found in the plasma - are responsible for creating the osmotic pressure which draws tissue fluid into the capillaries. The reduction in the osmotic pressure gradient between blood and tissue fluid means that more fluid leaves the capillaries at the arterial end and less is re-absorbed at the venous end of the capillary network. The fluid then builds up in the tissues, a condition known as oedema.

People with DM type 2 have narrowing of the arteries mainly the small arteriole. The slowed flow is deprived of oxygen, and by the time they get through the capillaries to the vein, the oxygen in the hemoglobin was extracted so much that the blood turn cyanotic due to increase amount of 'reduced' hemoglobin which is what is perceived as 'purple".
