| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is a global problem. It is estimated to increase from 4% in 1995 to 5.4% by the year 2025. Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is most commonly occurring microvascular complication accounting for 28% of all complications in diabetics. There is a progressive neuronal involvement in diabetics which is accelerated by poor glycaemic control. Diabetic neuropathy has a long asymptomatic stage. Nerve conduction study can be employed for screening diabetic patients in subclinical stages. MATERIAL & METHODS: Sixty diabetic subjects (male& female) without complications with duration of diabetes 1-10 yrs and 30 normal healthy individuals were included in the study. Nerve conduction study was done using AD-instrument Powerlab/30 series. HbA1c was estimated by Cobas C-111 Autoanalyser. Fasting and Post-prandial blood sugar was measured by GOD-POD method. RESULTS & DISCUSSION: Nerve conduction velocity progressively decreased from the controls to diabetics with good glycaemic control, to the diabetics with poor glycaemic control. There is negative correlation between sensory nerve conduction velocity & glycemic control.(HbA1c) CONCLUSION: There is progressive slowing of sensory nerves in diabetics which is accelerated by poor glycemic control. |
