Electrodiagnostic evaluation in diabetes mellitus: A study based on case series in 72 diabetic patients.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications of diabetes; so, a nerve conduction study (NCS) is conducted to detect the type of neuropathy that is present. To discuss the NCS findings in diabetic patients. An observational study was conducted in the Physiology Department of AIIMS, Bhopal, in collaboration with the Medicine Department of the Institute.

Effectiveness of Semmes Weinstein 10 gm monofilament in diabetic peripheral neuropathy taking nerve conduction and autonomic function study as reference tests.

Context: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) if detected early can reduce the burden on the health system and prevent the development of diabetic foot ulcers and amputation.

Aim: To study the effectiveness of Semmes Weinstein 10 gm monofilament in detecting DPN taking nerve conduction studies (NCS) and autonomic function testing (AFT) as reference tests.

Settings And Design: Observational and comparative cross-sectional study conducted in the Physiology department AIIMS, Bhopal in collaboration with the Medicine department of the institute.
