TI  - Visual evoked potential changes in patients with tropical pancreatic diabetes.
PG  - 427-32
AB  - Visual impairment is an important complication of diabetes. There are conflicting 
      reports on Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) changes in diabetes. P100 latency of VEP 
      was evaluated in twenty patients with Tropical Pancreatic Diabetes (TPD) and 
      compared with that of age and sex matched controls. There was no statistically 
      significant difference in the P100 latency between the two groups. There was no 
      correlation between the P100 latency and the severity of diabetes or presence of 
      defective vision or retinopathy. The defective vision in diabetes is likely to be 
      due to ocular causes rather than due to a defect in the central visual pathways.
