Relationship between sweat function determined by the sudoscan and parameters of the metabolic syndrome in people with type 2 diabetes
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the sweat function and parameters of the metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetes patientsMaterials and Methods This was a crosssectional study which took place from July 2016 to December 2016 It was carried out on type 2 diabetes patients who were under treatment The sweat function levels of glucose triglycerides total cholesterol HDLcholesterol LDLcholesterol were determined as the parameters of the metabolic syndrome Univariate and multivariate analyzes were used to determine the relationship between these parameters and the neuropathy score determined by the sudoscanResults Of the 244 patients aged 32 to 88 years the average conductance of hands was 59008 mS and that of the feet 705118mS The neuropathy score obtained was 395162 with no significant difference between men and women p 0289 By univariate analysis age p 00355 blood glucose p 0015 waist circumference p 00006 the glycated hemoglobin p 00378 the duration of diabetes p 00006 systolic blood pressure p 00378 and size p 00062 were associated with neuropathy score In multivariate analysis there was an association between neuropathy score and the body mass index weight duration of diabetes glycated hemoglobin and glycemiaConclusion The conductance of the feet and hands as well as neuropathy score obtained by the sudoscan are associated with other parameters of the metabolic syndrome The sudoscan can therefore provide information regarding to the glycemic control of diabeticsKeywords Type 2 diabetes Sudoscan Conductance Metabolic syndrome Neuropathy
