Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between decreased heart rate variability (CVRR) and autonomic nerve function in diabetic patients, aiming for early diagnosis of cardiac autonomic neuropathy.
  • Data from 51 inpatients aged 22-65 were analyzed, revealing that lower CVRR at rest and during deep breathing correlated with longer diabetes duration and worse physical outcomes, such as balance and muscle strength.
  • Notably, decreased CVRR at rest was associated with significant health issues like greater fluctuations in blood pressure when standing, higher resting heart rates, and urinary and sensory problems compared to CVRR measured during deep breathing.

Aims/introduction: Diabetic neuropathy leads to postural instability. This study compared longitudinal changes in neuropathy outcomes relative to long-term glycemic control in patients aged <60 years with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes with and without a short one-leg standing time (OLST <60 s).

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, 58 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] >7.

Introduction: Persons with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are known to experience impaired physical ability even at the early stages of the disease. However, less attention has been paid to increasing physical ability than to increasing physical activity in the treatment of T2D. The aim of this study was to assess whether improved physical ability parameters are associated with the discontinuation of injectable medications once glycemic targets have been achieved among inpatients with inadequately controlled T2D across a wide range of ages.
