We studied visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in 20 diabetic patients (6 insulin dependent, 14 noninsulin dependent; 8 women, 12 men; mean age: 49.70± 18.22 years; mean duration of diabetes: 9.33 ± 5.75 years) and 20 age-, and sex-matched healthy subjects (7 women, 13 men; mean age: 52.40 ± 16.02 years) as a control group. Nine of 20 diabetic patients had sensorimotor neuropathy, and 5 diabetic patients had both sensorimotor neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy, as …

In this studry 32 hyperglycemic patients with type II DM were treated with diet (7 patients), with gliclazide, an oral antidiabetic agent (10 patients), or with insulin (15 patients). The levels of liporoteins, apolipoprotein A and B and LCAT enzyme are measured before the therapy and 3 weeks after the achievement of glycemic control. Treatment types are compared with each other and with control group (10 normal persons) triglyseride (TG) and VLDL levels which were found to be high in all of the patients decreased in all groups to levels similar to control group. TC (total cholesterol), LDL, TC/HDL, LDL/HDL …
