| Popis: | Objectives - To study the occurrence of diabetic neuropathy and the effect of insulin treatment in elderly Type 2 diabetic patients. Material and methods -In 38 patients and 20 controls symptoms and neurophysiological examinations including electroneurography, vibration perception and temperature discrimination thresholds were investigated. Patients were randomized to insulin (n = 18) or sulfonylurea (n =16) treatment and were re-investigated after 1 year. Results - Neuropathy was present in 21/38 patients (56%). It was asymptomatic in 17/38 (45%) and symptomatic in 4/38 (11%). The occurrence of neuropathy was less common in healthy controls, 3/20 (15%) (P |
