Abstract

The authors have studied the clinical features and state of surface and deep types of sensitivity in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy. In patients having diabetic polyneuropathy peripheral nerves of the lower limbs get affected more compared to the upper ones, as evidenced by the ratio of values of vibration sensitivity on the hands to those of vibration sensitivity on the feet. It is increasing with the duration of diabetic polyneuropathy.
