Study of nerve conduction conduction tests in diabetics

Dr. Audimulapu Sudharani

Abstract :

 Diabetes mellitus has rapidly emerged as a major health problem in developed and developing countries throughout the world. Diabetes with early age onset carries higher risk for heart attacks and even higher for peripheral vascular disease and 4–5 times for stroke, 3–5 times for nephropathy. The need for early diagnosis and effective treatment is evident, and much emphasis is now being placed on identifying high risk populations and implementing strategies for prevention. There have been rapid advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes. The present study was conducted on 50 subjects of type 2 diabetes subjects in age group 30–60 years. The subjects for control group have been selected in age group of 30–60 years seeking for various other medical problems without diabetes and having no neuropathy of any other cause. In my study sural nerve in cases group it is observed that a significant decrease in conduction velocity has occurred (1).These patients with decreased sensory nerve conduction in sural nerve are having subclinical distal sensory peripheral neuropathy
