Study of bladder function in patients with prediabetes, latent diabetes, recent onset diabetes and juvenile diabetes.

We have studied the vesical function in 4 prediabetics, 11 latent diabetics, 11 recent onset insulin dependent diabetics and a control group of 6 normal individuals. We found in recent onset of diabetics disturbances of cystometric parameters in a statistically significant proportion. This proportion increases with the evolution of diabetes.
