Sensory Perception Thresholds in Patients with Juvenile Diabetes and Their Close Relatives

Cardiovascular Responses to Sustained Handgrip in Normal Subjects and in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A Test of Autonomic Function

“…The failure of correlation of a reduced handgrip response in the diabetic subjects with age, duration of diabetes, form of treatment and control of the blood glucose accords with previous neurological studies including sensory perception thresholds (Chochinov, Ullyot & Moorhouse, 1972) and the Valsalva manoeuvre (Sharpey-Schafer & Taylor, 1960), but not with motor nerve-conduction velocity (Gregerson, 1967). The higher percentage of patients with diabetic retinopathy suggests that many of the abnormal responders had widespread microangiopathy.…”

Deteriorating tactile sensation in patients with hand syndromes associated with diabetes: A two-year observational study

“…But, tactile or vibration senses have been impaired, attributed to diabetic neuropathy, in type 1 and type 2 diabetes where carpal tunnel syndrome was excluded. The index finger had reduced light touch in type 1 diabetes (Chochinov et al, 1972) and the index and little fingers had reduced vibration and tactile sensation in type 2 diabetes (Cederlund et al, 2009;Dahlin et al, 2008).…”

Altered Taste Sensation in Newly-Diagnosed NIDDM

“…A blunted taste sensation may influence the choice of nutrients, possibly with a preference for sweet-tasting foods. Taste sensation in diabetic patients has been reported to be impaired (2)(3)(4), but most studies have used electrogustometry as the principal tool of investigation, included both IDDM and NIDDM subjects, and were crosssectional in design.…”
