Abstract :

Diabetic neuropathies are nerve disorders associated with diabetes, which affect approximately half of all diabetes patients. The most common complication of diabetes is caused by hyperglycemia which can damage nerve fibers throughout the body. Depending on the types of nerves involved, diabetic neuropathies can be categorized as peripheral, autonomic, proximal, focal neuropathies. In this study, we have analyzed effect of diabetes on various parameters of upper limb nerve conduction study in 340 Type II diabetes mellitus subjects. All Type II diabetes mellitus subjects who recruited from OPD of the Department of Medicine, National Institute of Medical Sciences and research, Hospital, NIMS University Rajasthan Jaipur, Rajasthan. All the subjects are on hypoglycemic medicine. Performing Nerve conduction study (NCS) in all the subjects. Medicaid System�s EMG/NCV equipment with Neurostim software was used for nerve conduction velocity. Prolongation of distal latency (DL) and reduced the amplitude and conduction velocity highly significant in Type II diabetes mellitus subjects as compared to healthy subjects of sensory nerve of upper limbs. So this study demonstrated that various parameters of nerve conduction study can be affected by hyperglycemia.
