Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Diabetic Neuropathy is a either subclinical or clinically evident disorder of nerves that occurs in both peripheral and the autonomic nervous systems. Peripheral Neuropathies are among most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) affecting up to 50% of patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, distal polyneuropathy becomes apparent after several years of diagnosis; in contrast, type 2 diabetes patients may have neuropathy at the time of diagnosis1 Methods: This study was undertaken to study clinical profile of peripheral neuropathy in diabetes mellitus and to correlate it with various parameters. In this study total 125 diabetic patients were studied. The detailed clinical examination including sensory system examination was done and different clinical parameters were studied in them. Results: The most frequent complaints detected in the present study were tingling and numbness. The most commonly impairments detected were impaired vibratory sense, impaired sensation and loss of ankle jerk. Severity of peripheral neuropathy increases with age. It was also observed that, the severity of peripheral neuropathy increases with duration of diabetes mellitus. Diabetics can minimize their risk of developing nerve damage by keeping their blood sugar levels as close to normal range as possible the severity of peripheral neuropathy was found to be directly related with the levels of blood sugar
