Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has detrimental effects on the various organs of our body including central and peripheral nervous system which is widely accepted. However, not much research is done on understanding the central nervous system abnormalities of DM. Visual evoked potential (VEP) is a non-invasive Neuro-physiological examination that detects early diabetic retinopathy changes which is important in preventing loss of vision. The study was conducted in Type 2 diabetic patients with 20 cases with duration of more than 2 years and 20 controls were taken. Visual evoked potential (VEP) was done in both groups. Patient having complications of diabetes, cataracts, reduced vision were excluded from the study. Aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation of VEP in detecting retinal ganglion cell damage in diabetics and to study the correlation between P 100 latency and duration of Diabetes. There was Significant prolongation of P100 latencies (msec) in type 2 diabetics with mean±SD of (110.90±6.11 msec) in right eye compared to controls (101.07±1.92 msec) and Left eye 110±5.97 compared to controls 101±1.29 with p value <0.001. It can be concluded that the prolongation of P 100 latencies observed in diabetics could be a manifestation of structural damage before development of diabetic retinopathy and P 100 latencies showed significant positive correlation with duration of diabetes.
