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.

Methods: We analyzed data collected from 139 patients with type 2 diabetes aged between 19 and 81 years, which included the peripheral nerve conduction parameters and coefficient of variation for normal R-R intervals (CVRR) at rest and during deep breathing. The results of neurological examinations to diagnose probable and confirmed diabetic neuropathies based on the minimal criteria proposed by the Toronto diabetic neuropathy expert group and a battery of physical fitness tests including one-leg standing time with eyes open were also assessed.
