Why the study?
Does early type 2 diabetes affect heart rate and systolic blood pressure variability compared to healthy controls?
Population
60 subjects: 30 patients with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes of less than 2 years and 30 healthy controls.
Comparison
Type 2 diabetes (duration < 2 years) vs Healthy controls
Design

Early diabetes may signal subclinical autonomic neuropathy; hypothesis-generating for screening but requires prospective validation before practice change.
Does early type 2 diabetes affect heart rate and systolic blood pressure variability compared to healthy controls?
Patients with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes already exhibit signs of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, characterized by decreased heart rate variability and impaired baroreflex sensitivity.
Michel‐Chávez et al. (2015) studied this question.
