Abstract

Fifty patients with diabetes mellitus of varying duration were divided into two groups according to whether they were on treatment with insulin or not. Nasal mucosal blood flow was investigated and the results were compared with a reference material from healthy subjects, and were also related to the degree of retinopathy. Patients with diabetes mellitus had normal mucosal blood flow. There was no correlation between the duration of diabetes and nasal blood flow, nor was there any correlation between the degree of retinopathy and nasal blood flow. Diabetes mellitus does not seem to be accompanied by changes in blood flow in the nasal mucosa.
