Alterations in nervous transmission might be an early feature of diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy, even in the subclinical stage. We performed a study on 100 diabetic patients. Those with possible endogenous or exogenous causes of neuropathy were not included. We studied the motor distal latency of right peroneal and cubital nerve and the sensory distal latency of median nerve by the use of electromyogram. The neuropathy incidence was 34.3%. One of the results was that conduction in males was slower than in the female control group; this disappeared in diabetic patients.
