Clinical Profile of Peripheral Neuropathy in Diabetes Mellitus by Nerve Conduction Study
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Nerve damage or diabetic neuropathy resulting from chronically high blood glucose can be one of the most frustrating and debilitating complications of diabetes because of the pain, discomfort and disability it can cause, and because available treatments are not uniformly successful. The present study comprises study of profile peripheral neuropathy in 50 patients of diabetes mellitus clinically as well as by nerve conduction study. In the present study, the incidence of peripheral neuropathy was recorded as 30% on clinical examinations. Whereas on nerve conduction study it was found 42 %. The most frequent complaint detected in the present study was tingling and numbness. Type 2 diabetes is the most common cause of chronic peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes is more common in people who are overweight or obese. Therefore weight control may help to reduce risk of developing diabetes. Good control of the condition may help to prevent neuropathy from developing. Keywords: Peripheral neuropathy, Diabetes, Nerve conduction
