HBA1C – PREDICTOR OF EARLY PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY IN ASYMPTOMATIC CASES OF DIABETES MELLITUS
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background & objectives: Electro diagnostic studies are a reproducible and noninvasive method of assessing peripheral nerve function which is deteriorated in metabolic diseases, especially Diabetes Mellitus. These studies provide a good incite in the progress of the associated dysfunctions. Method: 30 cases of neurologically asymptomatic Diabetes Mellitus and equal number of normal non-diabetic controls were subjected to nerve conduction study. Results: Mean Age of cases (45.03±9.99), Height of cases (159±7.02), MCV (P< 0.001), SCV (p<0.001) Interpretation & conclusion: Nerve conduction parameters were altered among the neurologically asymptomatic diabetic cases
