Choriocapillaris flow deficits appear lower in individuals with prediabetes

At the Academy 2024 conference, researchers presented data showing that individuals with prediabetes have lower choriocapillaris flow deficits compared to controls. This suggests a potential protective mechanism in response to early prediabetic changes. The study recruited 46 participants and used OCT imaging to analyze the retinal and choroidal vasculature. The mean flow deficit percentage was lower in the prediabetes group (18.25%) compared to the control group (22.07%). These findings highlight the importance of further research on choriocapillaris flow deficits as a potential biomarker for prediabetes.
