Abstract
The blood-retinal barrier (BRB) does not experience the same degree of perturbation as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) does and may be a protected site during the insult of DKA and its treatment. The greater stability of the retinal microvasculature may be due to the increased number of pericytes in the BRB in comparison with the BBB.
