Abstract

Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were assessed in 50 adult type I (insulin-dependent) and 19 type II (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus patients and in 54 controls. P100 wave latency was significantly longer in diabetic patients (P less than .001). Twenty-eight percent of diabetic patients had P100 wave latencies above the normal range. There was no correlation between P100 latency and type or duration of diabetes mellitus, quality of metabolic control, or presence of degenerative complications. The significance of VEP abnormalities in diabetes mellitus remains speculative.
