Abstract :

The measurement of Visual Reaction Time has been used to evaluate the processing speed of Central Nervous System and the co–ordination between the sensory and motor system. Diabetic neuropathy is a disorder of the nerve caused by diabetes mellitus which may be diffused or focal. There for there is a need for tests to identify the affect of hyperglycemia and diabetes control on nervous tissue at the early stage. The present case control study was conducted at diabetic OPD at civil hospital, on 20 Type2 Diabetes Mellitus patients with controlled diabetes (HbA1c <7 %), 20 T2DM patients with uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c ≥7 %) and 20 normal healthy subjects without diabetes and hypertension ,who were right handed and age between 40 to 50 years. Blood samples were obtained in the fasting state for estimating fasting blood sugar (FBS) and Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).The subject’s visual reaction time was measured by software. Statistical analysis was done by z– test. There was significant positive correlation between HbA1c and visual reaction time. In this study we found that diabetics with good glycemic control had significantly shorter visual reaction time.T2DM patients manifest with slowing reaction time that is associated with poor metabolic control.
