Introduction: Diabetes-induced vestibular dysfunction has been commonly reported, and asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes display higher degrees of perceptual visual dependence for spatial orientation than healthy controls. This study aims to assess whether HbA1c can predict such visual dependence in the diabetic patients. Methods and Materials: Diabetic patients were divided into 2 groups: 22 subjects with “good” (HbA1c < 7%) and 25 with “poor” (HbA1c ≥
7%) glycemic control. Otolithic…

These findings have been supported by pathophysiological evidence demonstrating that acute fluctuations in glycemia can produce significant alterations in normal homeostasis, such as those of endothelial dysfunction and increased inflammation.

Otolith dysfunction does not significantly influence the clinical presentation of individuals with a peripheral vestibular disorder and other factors, including symptom severity, may be more influential.

In conclusion, the increasing use of CGMSs will certainly promote better assessment and management of glycemic variability and the MAGE index is probably more appropriate for selecting the major glucose swings that are calculated as the arithmetic mean of differences between consecutive peaks and nadirs.

Fusion of visual and vestibular tilt cues in the perception of visual vertical.

Perception of the visual vertical is based on a centrally weighted fusion of visual, vestibular, and egocentric references, and both models show a periodic frame effect that becomes stronger with increasing body tilt and can explain why frame lines parallel or perpendicular to the dark SVV are ineffective.

Detailed examination shows that vestibular compensation is not a single process that recovers completely at a rapid rate but is made up of a number of subprocesses that recover to different levels and at different rates.
