✦ Synopsis

In the present study, we compared the effects of good blood glucose control and that of aldose reductase inhibitor (Statil) treatment on diabetic retinal capillary basement membrane thickening in the diabetic BB-rat. Aggressive insulin treatment maintaining euglycaemia for 4 months prevented the characteristic basement membrane thickening in both the superficial and deep capillary beds of the diabetic retina. Statil treatment of hyperglycaemic rats for the same length of time prevented basement membrane thickening in the deep capillary bed but not in the superficial capillaries.

## Abstract The diabetic‐prone BioBreeding Wistar rat (BB/DP) is an autoimmune model of insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus. Approximately 80–90% of the animals are hyperglycemic (BB/DP~h~) by 90–120 days of age while those that do not become diabetic in adolescence (BB/DP~n~) remain normoglycemic

## Abstract ## Background Individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) homozygous for the haptoglobin (Hp) 1 allele are at decreased risk of retinopathy as compared to DM individuals with the Hp 2 allele. We sought to recapitulate these findings in DM mice genetically modified at the Hp locus. ## Meth
