Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is characterized by retinal vascular damage, visual impairment and blindness, but the involvement of retinal neurons in characteristics of DR is now gaining attention. Investigators have reported conflicting results with respect to the effects of diabetes on survival of neuronal cell-types in the retina. There is general agreement that long-standing diabetes leads to a reduction in the number of retinal ganglion cells in diabetes, but the effect of diabetes on retinal photoreceptor cells is less clear. Some investigators have presented evidence that there is some or substantial photoreceptor cell degeneration in diabetic rodents within only months after the induction of diabetes (Énzsöly et al., 2014; Tang et al., 2011; Bogdanov et al., 2014), whereas others have found little or no evidence of generalized loss of photoreceptors in diabetic mice or patients after even longer durations of disease (Liu et al., 2016; Hombrebueno et al., 2014; Tan et al., 2015; Gerhardinger et al., 1998).We previously conducted 5 year studies of diabetic dogs to investigate the roles of glycemic control (Howell et al., 2013; Engerman and Kern, 1987) or experimental therapies (Kern and Engerman, 2001; Engerman and Kern, 1993) on the development of diabetic retinopathy, and showed that PC or MC diabetes in dogs resulted in characteristic vascular lesions of DR, which were alleviated when insulin was administered in amounts adequate to achieve good glycemic control (Engerman and Kern, 1987; Engerman et al., 1977). Likewise, axonal processes in the optic nerve (which was interpreted as indicating a reduction in the retinal
