Evaluation of peripheral nerves of upper limb and its correlation with blood sugar levels: A electrophysiological study in type 2 diabetics
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction Peripheral neuropathy is a complication of diabetes which causes considerable indisposition and frailty Metabolic derangement in diabetes affects nerveAim To carry out electrophysiological study of nerves in diabetics and to correlate it with blood sugarMaterials and Methods Nerves of upper limb were assessed for motor nerve conduction with the help of surface electrodes and windows based Neuro perfect software computerized system in 50 type 2 diabetic male patients and 50 healthy males The nerves chosen for study were median and ulnar Parameters studied were distal latency and conduction velocityResults Observation revealed increased distal latency and decreased conduction velocity in diabetics with statistically significant difference These parameters also showed association with blood sugar levels in diabeticsConclusions Diabetes affect nerves as indicated by declined motor nerve function through electrophysiological testing Elevated blood sugar levels are related with nerve damageKeywords Peripheral neuropathy Diabetes Electrophysiological tests Conduction velocity
