ABSTRACT
Fifty-seven insulin dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin dependent (NIDDM) diabetic patients and 25 controls were studied. Patients with history of strokes, hypoglycaemia, hearing impairment, diabetic retinopathy, etc, were excluded. Clinical examination of central nervous system (CNS) and computerised tomography scan of brain were absolutely normal in all cases. Neuroelectrophysiological tests done were the visual evoked potential (VEP), brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) and somatosensory evoked potential (SEP). The mean VEP latency was significantly raised in both NIDDM and IDDM compared with controls. The mean BAER and SEP latencies were both significantly raised in NIDDM but not in IDDM. The percentage of cases with abnormally raised CNS latencies were as follows In NIDDM, VEP-16.7%, BAER-50% and SEP-26.7%; in IDDM, VEP-11.1%, BAER-14.8% and SEP-18.5%. Thus, subclinical CNS dysfunction is common in diabetes mellitus particularly in NIDDM and this can be reliably detected by measuring the CNS latencies, specially VEP.
