Variation in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Function with Blood Glucose as Measured with the Fast Oscillation of the Electro-Oculogram

Abstract

We have previously demonstrated that functional changes in the visual system accompany fluctuations in blood glucose occurring over minutes or hours. These changes in vision function occur in both diabetic and non-diabetic observers and can be demonstrated psychophysically1 as well as with visually-evoked cortical potentials (VEP's)2.
