[Measurement of flow physiology of the large vessels in retinal circulation in type 1 and type 2 diabetics].

Segmental blood flow, velocity, and vessel diameter were measured in 21 eyes of diabetic individuals with diabetes type 1 and 2. The results for arterial blood flow, velocity, arterial and venous vessel diameter in diabetes show significant differences from the results measured in normal individuals. These flow magnitudes, excluding arterial diameter, significantly depend on the duration time of diabetes. The retinal blood flow magnitudes alter before the marks of diabetic retinopathy are visible. There are differences between the results in diabetes type 1 and type 2 regarding dependence on the duration time of diabetes.
