Reversibility of Venular Dilatation and Congestion in Diabetic Subjects Over a Period of Hours

Abstract
Bio-microscopic observations in 15 diabetic and 15 non-diabetic healthy persons demonstrate that the venular dilatation and congestion observable in the conjunctival vascular bed of diabetics may often fluctuate within a period of hours. Venular dilatation was, as a rule, least marked in the later afternoon, at the time when dietary intake and insulin effect may be expected to produce the optimal daily metabolic pattern.
