Abstract:

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is an important health issue throughout the world. It is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder. Neuropathy is the most precocious and frequent late complication of diabetes mellitus. Evoked potentials offer the possibility to perform a functional evaluation of neural pathways in the central nervous system. Aims and Objectives: This study is a modest attempt to find the relationship of central diabetic neuropathy with the disease, if any, by evaluating the brainstem auditory evoked potentials. Materials and Methods: Brainstem auditory evoked potentials were recorded in type-2 diabetic patients taken from OPD of Medicine department of Guru Nanak Dev Hospital, Amritsar. Patients were divided into three groups based upon the duration of disease. The parameters recorded were absolute latencies of waves I, III and V & Inter-peak latencies (IPL) I-III, I-V, III-V. Results: The results showed no statistically significant changes in any of the above parameters. Discussion: This could be attributed to fairly good glycemic control of the patients included in the study. Thus, we conclude that patients with good glycemic control develop no auditory peripheral or central diabetic neuropathy irrespective of the duration of disease. However this study has its own limitations and further research is required to substantiate these results.?
