Abstract:Both glycemic control and handgrip strength affect microvascular function. Multiscale entropy (MSE) of photoplethysmographic (PPG) pulse amplitudes may differ by diabetes status and hand activity. Of a middle-to-old aged and right-handed cohort without clinical cardiovascular disease, we controlled age, sex, and weight to select the unaffected (no type 2 diabetes, = 36), the wellcontrolled diabetes (HbA1c < 8%, = 22), and the poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 8%, = 22) groups. MSEs were calculated from conse… Show more
