A Comparative Study Of Autonomic Functions Between The Patients Of Diabetes Mellitus And Controls
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Autonomic failure is encountered in many clinical conditions as primary or secondary disorders. Amongst all, Diabetes mellitus is most common systemic disease causing autonomic dysfunctions, whose severity is related to duration of diabetes and the degree of the metabolic control. While the degree of loss of autonomic functions can be assess by series of autonomic tests. The aim of the present study was to find out the effects of diabetes mellitus on autonomic functions. Method: In this cross sectional study, 30 diabetics were compared with 30 non-diabetics (plasma glucose level between 80-120 mg %) for their autonomic functions. Their autonomic functions were counted as per the protocol of ‘Autonomic Function Lab’, AIIMS, New Delhi. Statistical analysis was performed using Medcalc 11.1.0.0 statistical software. Result: All the autonomic tests- Deep breathing test, Valsalva maneuver, Sustain hand grip test & Lying to standing test has shown significantly altered autonomic functions amongst diabetics than non diabetics. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus is one of the systemic disease which leads to autonomic dysfunctions when compared to non diabetes which may be because of increased blood glucose.
