Abstract:There is increasing evidence for a role of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) during development of distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN). We hypothesized that MetS components are differentially associated with measures of DSPN in individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and early type 2 diabetes (T2D). Electrophysiological and quantitative sensory testing was performed in 180 participants with NGT and 355 with recent-onset T2D (known diabetes duration <1 year) matched for age from the German Diab… Show more
