Abstract
Although NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho ratios decrease in the visual cortex while diabetic retinopathy progresses, these decreases are not statistically significant. While HbA1c levels increase, the NAA concentration decreases in the visual cortex which indicates neuronal loss. The metabolite changes in the visual cortex are associated with acute events rather than chronic.
