Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of increased 2-hour postprandial blood glucose on arteriolar-tovenular diameter ratio (AVR) in retinal fundus imaging of patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods A total of 316 DR patients were test by 75 g OGTT, FPG and 2 hPG were recorded, and all subjects were divided into G1 group (n = 104), G2 group (n = 108) and G3 group (n = 104) according to the rangeability of 2 hPG (2 hPG-FPG).The levels of AVR were measured in retinal fundus imaging. Correlation between AVR and other index were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis and Multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results 2 hPG, FIns, HbA1c and HOMAIR in G3 group and G2 group were higher than those in G1 group, and 2 hPG and HbA1c in G3 group were higher than those in G2 group; 2 h AVR in G3 group and G2 group was lower than in G1 group respectively, and 2 h AVR in G3 group was lower than that in G2 group (P < 0.05), there was no statistical significance among three groups on F-AVR (P > 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that AVR was negatively correlated with FPG, 2 hPG, HbA1c,SBP and DBP (P < 0.05); Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that 2 hPG was influencing factor of AVR in DR patients (P = 0.000). Conclusion The increased 2 hPG maybe lead to the rise of AVR, and dynamic observation of AVR in DR patients should be more meaningful to judge the severity of the DR.
