Why the study?
Are electrophysiologic tests of bladder innervation early indicators of widespread autonomic neuropathic involvement in patients with diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance?
Population

Bladder SERs should not guide autonomic neuropathy screening in IGT or DM; leaves open their targeted urodynamic role pending longitudinal data.
Are electrophysiologic tests of bladder innervation early indicators of widespread autonomic neuropathic involvement in patients with diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance?
Electrophysiologic tests of bladder innervation do not serve as early indicators of widespread autonomic neuropathy in patients with diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.
