Overview

Cross-sectional study evaluates nerve conduction parameters for early neuropathy detection in diabetics, indicating need for routine assessments.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess nerve conduction parameters in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus patients to detect subclinical neuropathy.
  • Cross-sectional design involving 100 asymptomatic T2DM patients and 50 controls
  • Nerve conduction studies were conducted on medial and lateral plantar nerves
  • Clinical neuropathy was assessed using sensory neuropathy scores and additional data on glycemic control was collected.
  • Only 13 of 100 patients had recordable plantar nerve conduction study responses; 84.6% showed subclinical abnormalities
  • 87 of 100 patients exhibited absent sensory responses, classified as severe abnormality
  • Diabetic patients had elevated glycated hemoglobin, reduced vitamin B12, and worse NCS parameters compared to controls.
