Abstract
It is aimed to investigate the relationship between the asymptomatic individiuals with elevated HbA1c and occurrence of polyneuropathy by way of comparison to normoglycemic condition. The study includes 30 female patients diagnosed with subclinical elevation of HbA1c and 30 normoglycemic healthy female patients who applied to our hospital polyclinics with symptoms other than neuropathy between January-March 2017. Nerve conduction examination is done in these patients, parameters of both groups are compared. In regard to amplitude distribution; when compared to control group, tibial motor and ulnar sensory nerve amplitude is lower than the control group (p<0.05). In peroneal, median and ulnar motor nerves, distal latency values are extended compared to control group (p<0.05). Sural, median and ulnar sensory nerve latency is extended compared to control group. In terms of transmission rate distribution; in sural, median and ulnar sensory nerve, transmission speed is lower compared to the control group (p<0.05). In asymptomatic cases with subclinical elevation of HbA1c, peripheral nervous system involvement is monitored, and early glycemic control should be provided in order to prevent development of neuropathy in patients.
