Distal symmetric polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetes is linked to longer disease duration and higher HbA1C. Poor glycemic control, hypertension, and retinopathy are key risk factors for neuropathy development.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Endocrinology
  • Diabetology

Background:

  • Distal symmetric sensory-motor polyneuropathy (DSP) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
  • Identifying risk factors for DSP is crucial for early intervention and management in diabetic patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the risk factors associated with the development of distal symmetric sensory-motor polyneuropathy (DSP) in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of sixty-seven patients with type 2 DM (33 males, 34 females) underwent detailed neurological examinations.
  • The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument was used to calculate total neuropathy scores.
  • Nerve conduction examinations were performed for all participants.

Main Results:

  • The mean age of the study participants was 52.83±.87 years.
  • The average glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) level was 8.56±2.07%, indicating poor glycemic control.
  • Total neuropathy scores showed significant correlations with diabetes duration, hypertension, retinopathy, and HbA1C levels.

Conclusions:

  • This study reinforces the established link between neuropathy and suboptimal glycemic control in type 2 diabetes.
  • The findings highlight the significant association of neuropathy with disease duration, retinopathy, and hypertension, emphasizing their importance as risk factors.
