Abstract
Objective: To determine the relation between distal symmetrical polyneuropathy severity and HbA1c level of patients diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A total of 50 patients, who consulted Istanbul Training and Research Hospital between the dates of May 2010-February 2011 and were diagnosed as polyneuropathy according to EMG observations and as type 2 diabetics, were studied retrospectively; 28 of them were women and 22 of them were men, and the age average was 58.1. Results: It is determined according to the EMG results that of the 50 patients, 19 of them were highly, 14 of them were moderately, and 17 of them were mildly distal symmetrical polyneuropathic. The HbA1c level average was determined to be 9.95±2.01%, 8.92±1.96%, and 7.62±1.98%, respectively. Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between the severity of distal symmetrical polyneuropathy for patients diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus and HbA1c levels.
Özet
Amaç: Tip 2 diyabetes mellitus tanılı hastalarda HbA1c seviyesi ile distal simetrik polinöropati şiddeti arasındaki ilişkiyi saptamaktır. Yöntemler: Mayıs 2010-Şubat 2011 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Nöroloji Polikliniği'ne başvuran Tip 2 diyabetes mellitus (DM) tanısı alan ve yapılan elektromiyografi (EMG) incelemelerinde diabetik polinöropati saptanan ardışık 50 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Olguların 28'i kadın 22'si erkekti ve yaş ortalaması 58,1 idi. Bulgular: Elektromiyografi sonucunda 50 hastadan 19'unda ağır derecede, 14'ünde orta derecede 17'sinde hafif derecede distal simetrik polinöropati saptanmıştır. HbA1c değer ortalamaları sırasıyla %9,95±2,01, %8,92±1,96 ve %7,62±1,98 olarak saptanmıştır (p
