Effect of Type 2 Diabetes on Autonomic Function in a Rural Population
Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: To study the effect of type 2 diabetes on parasympathetic and sympathetic reactivity test in a rural diabetic population. Material and Method: 50 type 2 diabetics and 50 healthy controls were chosen for the study. Parasympathetic reactivity test was done using 30:15 ratio and Sympathetic reactivity test was assessed using Cold pressor test. Result: We observed a decreased response in 30:15 ratio in diabetics indicating decrease in the parasympathetic activity. Decreased response in DBP in response to the cold pressure test was observed indicating a decrease in the Sympathetic activity. Conclusion: In diabetes group significant blunting was seen in the arterial blood pressure response to cold pressor test showing dysfunction in sympathetic activity. Standing test showed highly significant difference between diabetes and control groups indicating parasympathetic dysfunction.
