Using somatosensory and visual evoked potential techniques we have looked for evidence of central neuropathy in a group of insulin-dependent diabetics with mild peripheral neuropathy. The N9, N13, and N20 components of the somatosensory evoked potential were significantly (P less than 0.001) delayed in the diabetic group compared with the control subjects. There was a small but non-significant increase in the interpeak N13-9 and N20-13 latencies in the diabetic group. The visual evoked potential (P100) showed a small but insignificant delay. The delay in cerebral evoked potentials was mostly attributable to peripheral neuropathic damage and no firm evidence was obtained in favour of central diabetic neuropathy.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D003929 Diabetic Neuropathies Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.
