Abstract
We studied the effect of successful pancreas transplantation and consequent normoglycemia (mean total hemoglobin A1, 7.0 percent; range, 5.8 to 8.3) on visual function and diabetic retinopathy in 22 patients with Type I diabetes mellitus (study group). Sixteen similar patients in whom pancreas transplantation had been unsuccessful (mean total hemoglobin A1, 12.0 percent; range, 8.0 to 18.0) served as a control group. The majority of patients in both groups had advanced proliferative retinopathy.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
