Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy is a group of clinical syndromes that may occur separately or in various combinations and may affect various components of the nervous system. The involvement of different types of nerve fibers in the natural history of diabetic neuropathy is selective, being considered that the first affected in diabetic neuropathy are small unmyelinated nerve fibers and by measuring the current perceptions threshold (using the Neurometer®) we can quantify the status of three different types of nerve fibers. The aims of our study were to assess diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) by measuring the rapid current perception threshold (R-CPT) using Neurometer, to estimate the prevalence of DPN using this method, and to analyze the possible correlation between R-CPT and clinical, biochemical and metabolic parameters.
