Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 20
Abstract
[b]AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:[/b] 1.To study the types of neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus 2. To find out the commonest nerves involved using nerve conduction studies. [b]MATERIALS[/b]: About 50 cases satisfying the inclusion criteria admitted in Chettinad health city and research institute during the period of October 2013 to October 2015 were taken up for the study. [b]METHOD OF COLLECTION[/b] [b]OF DATA[/b]: Our study was conducted with an informed consent obtained from these patients. A proper consent shall be obtained from these patients. They were interviewed for a detailed history and clinical examination. After ruling out other causes of peripheral neuropathy these patients were subjected to nerve conduction studies. The patients were explained about the procedure. Fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, random blood sugar and glycosylated were estimated for these patients. The results were analyzed with the help of appropriate statistical methods. [b]RESULTS[/b]: 1) The incidence of neuropathy was found to be 90% 2) Tingling sensation was the most commonest complaint noted in 62% of patients 3) Polyuria and Polydipsia was noted in 34% of patients 4) Ankle jerk was absent in 48% of patients 5) Vibration sense was reduced in 44% of patients 6) Commonest pattern of neuropathy noted was distal symmetrical sensory polyneuropathy 7) The most commonest nerve involved was peroneal nerves. [b]CONCLUSION[/b]: 1. The most common pattern of neuropathy noted in our study was distal symmetrical sensory and motor polyneuropathy. 2. Involvement of peroneal nerve is more common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
