Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 100 T2DM patients and 100 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. P100 latency was measured for central conduction, while distal latency, amplitude, and conduction velocity of the tibial, ulnar, and sural nerves were assessed for peripheral conduction. Statistical analyses included t-tests, Mann–Whitney U tests, Chi-square tests, ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis tests, and Spearman’s correlations. Results: P100 latency was significantly prolonged in the diabetic group compared with controls (113.07±4.66 ms vs. 104.10±3.25 ms; p KW - Type 2 diabetes mellitus KW - visual evoked potentials KW - peripheral neuropathy KW - nerve conduction studies KW - diabetic retinopathy N2 - Amaç: Tip 2 diyabetes mellitus (T2DM) hastalarında görsel uyarılmış potansiyel (VEP) ve sinir iletim çalışmaları kullanılarak santral ve periferik sinir iletimini değerlendirmek ve bu parametrelerin diyabet süresi ile diyabetik retinopati şiddetiyle ilişkisini araştırmak.Yöntem: Bu retrospektif kesitsel çalışmaya, 100 T2DM hastası ve yaş-cinsiyet uyumlu 100 sağlıklı kontrol dahil edilmiştir. Santral iletim için P100 latansı ölçülmüş, periferik iletim için tibial, ulnar ve sural sinirlerin distal latans, amplitüd ve ileti hızı parametreleri değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizlerde t-testi, Mann–Whitney U testi, Ki-kare testi, ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis testi ve Spearman korelasyon analizleri kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: P100 latansı, diyabet grubunda kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı derecede uzundu (113,07 ± 4,66 ms vs. 104,10 ± 3,25 ms; p CR - American Diabetes Association.
