    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Endocrinology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Diabetic amyotrophy is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus.
    • It affects nerve function, leading to muscle weakness and pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of diabetic amyotrophy.
    • To assess the impact of diabetic control and treatment on recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • A clinical follow-up study of 12 patients diagnosed with diabetic amyotrophy.
    • Patients were re-examined after an average follow-up period of 4.5 years.

    Main Results:

    • Improvement was observed in 11 out of 12 patients.
    • Neurological improvement correlated with better diabetic control or treatment initiation.
