Abstract
Objectives: To describe the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of peripheral nerve damage in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 101 people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients at the Department of Endocrinology - Diabetes and Neurology Center of Bach Mai Hospital. Results: The average age of the patients is 58.04 ± 12.66 years; males account for 60.4%, while females account for 39.6% (p = 0.038). The majority of patients have HbA1C levels ≥ 7%, accounting for 86.1%. The average HbA1C level is 11.6%. There is a correlation between age and abnormalities in electromyography of the median nerve, ulnar nerve, sural nerve, peroneal nerve and tibial nerve. There is a correlation between HbA1C levels and abnormalities in electromyography of the superficial peroneal nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve, and peroneal nerve (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Nerve conduction studies can reveal early changes in peripheral nerve damage in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes.
