Sažetak
The retrospective investigation was done about relationships between diabetes and cranial nerve lesions (CNL) on the
sample of hospitalized neurological patients in Clinical Hospital Dubrava (CHD) in 6 yrs. period (2001–2006). The goal
was to expand the cognition about CNL as a complication of diabetes, to investigate possibility of better therapy models as
well as to investigate the prevention possibilities.The results show that CNL are significantly more present by the diabetic
patients vrs. the other hospitalized neurological patients. The main risk factors for CNL development are the duration of
diabetes, patient’s age and diabetes per se. No significant differences between masculine and feminine patients were registered
nor by diabetics neither by other patients. For CNL are also not from signifficant importance the successfully
treatment of diabetes, as well as type of antidiabetic and other medication. This investigation can not confirm the suspicion
that some of antidiabetic medicaments are responsible for CNL due to their neurotoxic side effects.
