Prevalence of Peripheral Neuropathy in Children and Adolescents With Type I Diabetes Mellitus: a Prospective Study

NCT01512030 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 35

Last updated 2016-09-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Diabetes mellitus type I is an increasing burden for more and younger children. Therapy should avoid long-term complications as macrovascular diseases and diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy (DN). There is considerable uncertainty about the prevalence of DN due to a lack of large epidemiological studies and consensus on diagnostic criteria. Nerve conduction velocity studies are regarded as the "gold standard" for investigating neuropathies.

We plan a prospective study by investigating the peripheral nerve conduction velocity in a population of diabetic children. At the same time-points, we will do a neurological examination using the Young Score, a clinical score of peripheral neuropathy \[10\]. The results obtained will be related to other long-term vascular complications (nephropathy, retinopathy), glycaemic control, duration of diabetes, insulin dose regime, hours of sports/week, and BMI
