Peripheral neuropathy and impaired sensation of feet among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a descriptive cross-sectional study

International Journal Of Community Medicine And Public Health

Background: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most prevalent consequence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Impaired sensation of feet due to DPN increases the risk of foot injury. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to assess the level of glycemic control, the prevalence of DPN and the impaired sensation of feet among the T2DM patients attending community clinics.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 386 T2DM patients attending community clinics in Sri Lanka. The baseline data were collected by an interviewer-administered questionnaire. DPN was diagnosed by Michigan neuropathy screening instrument (MNSI) and monofilament test. Glycemic control was assessed by serum glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting blood glucose (FBS).Results: Among 386 T2DM patients, 265 (68.7%) were females, 179 (46.4%) had 1-5 years duration of disease. Poor long-term glycemic control (HbA1c) was observed in 292 (75.6%), while poor short-term glycemic control (FB...

Effects of a Home-Based Foot–Ankle Exercise Program with Educational Booklet for Foot Dysfunctions in People with Diabetic Neuropathy: Results of the FOCA-II Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Applied Sciences

Exercise rehabilitation and education are important strategies for preventing the progression of diabetic neuropathy-related musculoskeletal deficits. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effect of an 8-week home-based foot–ankle exercise program using an educational booklet on clinical outcomes (foot muscle strength and functionality; functional balance; diabetic neuropathy symptoms and severity; tactile and vibratory sensitivities; plantar pressure distribution; and foot–ankle, knee, and hip biomechanics during gait). Fifty participants with neuropathy were randomly allocated into an intervention group (59.1 ± 6.4 years, 23.5 ± 4.8 kg/m2, males = 6, females = 19) that performed the exercises for 8 weeks and a control group (56.5 ± 9.4 years, 22.9 ± 3.6 kg/m2, males = 5, females = 20) that received usual care recommendations. Generalized estimating equation method and intention-to-treat approaches were adopted. No significant differences were found...

One hundred and seventy-one out of 203 (84.2%) patients had symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, 11.8% of patients showed symptoms of different autonomic neuropathy, 2.5% of patients had been diagnosed with proximal neuropathy, and 1.5% had focal neuropathy. The mean age of diabetes in complicated neuropathy was 14.32+/-7.17 years. A stocking sensory loss was ...

The prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and related factors

Iranian journal of public health, 2011

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) accounts for 80% of diabetic foot ulceration; therefore neurologic examination plays a critical role in screening at risk patients. Our objective was assessment the prevalence of DPN and related factors based on clinical findings. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 124 diabetics who were randomly recruited from Diabetes Clinic of Dr. Shariati University Hospital (Tehran/Iran) in 2004. After gathering demographic data and blood sampling for fasting blood sugar (FBS), the questionnaires United Kingdom (UK), Michigan, Diabetic Neuropathy Score (DNS), and 10-g monofilament testing were administered. Analysis tests were chi-square, pearson correlation and logistic regression. The patient's age ranged 17-75 years; with 44% male. Ninety one percent suffered from type two diabetes and the mean duration of diabetes was 10 years. The mean FBS level was 181.5 mg/dl. While the prevalence of DPN based on Michigan, DNS, and monofilament testing wa...

THE INFLUENCE OF PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY AND PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE IN THE OUTCOME OF DIABETIC FOOT MANAGEMENT – A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

Objective: Peripheral neuropathy and Peripheral Vascular Disease are the risk factors for the development of diabetic foot. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences and predictors of outcome parameters in patients with diabetic foot by stratifying these subjects according to the severity of these risk factors. Materials and methods: This is a prospective study conducted in 70 patients in the age group of 30-90 years diagnosed as Type II Diabetes with foot ulcers. After detailed clinical examination the following tests were conducted in all the patients: Complete blood count (CBC), Haemoglobin (Hb), Random Blood Sugar (RBS), Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate (ESR), Chest X-ray(CXR), Electrocardiography (ECG), foot X-ray, pus culture, Neuropathy testing by Semmes Weinstein Monofilament Test and Vibration Perception Threshold and Peripheral vascularity assessment by Duplex Doppler. Then grading of the ulcers was done using Wagner's Grade. The outcome of the patients was assessed by recording the healing time, mode of surgery and amputation rates of the patients. Results: A total of 70 patients with diabetic foot were consecutively included into the study (65.7% male, age (31% in 51-60 years), mean diabetes duration (5.2 years), Ulcer Grade (37% in Grade IV), Foot lesions (45.7% in toe), Blood sugar levels (64% in 300-400 mg/dl), Neuropathy (84%), Peripheral vascular disease (67%), major amputation (7%) and mortality (1.4%). Conclusion: All diabetic patients should undergo testing for neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease apart from doing other tests.

Peripheral Neuropathy among Newly diagnosed type 2 Diabetes mellitus

Background: Diabetic foot is one of the most serious complications of diabetes leading to poor quality of life even a higher risk of mortality. Diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy are at a higher risk of developing foot infection and ulcer. It causes a major source of morbidity, a leading cause of hospital bed occupancy and account for substantial health care, costs and resources. Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for peripheral neuropathy among newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetic patient in Primary Care Clinic,

A preventative foot care programme for people with diabetes with different stages of neuropathy

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2002

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a preventative foot care programme, applied in a normal outpatient setting to decrease the incidence of foot ulcers in people with diabetes diagnosed as having neuropathy by neuropathy disability score (NDS), in relation to the severity of neuropathy based on the vibration perception threshold (VPT). A structured continuous preventative foot care programme was designed to ensure proper footwear, walking foot hygiene, callus care, nailcutting, water temperature checks, use of warming devices, bathroom surgery, foot care products and self-inspection. Continual foot-care education and treatment, including podiatry, were available. Evaluation was at least every 6 months. Diabetic patients (n= 308) with neuropathy (NDS ]6), 72.3 9 10.7 years old, 45% men, 10.9 98.8 years duration of diabetes, and HbA 1c 6.591.3%, without a history of foot lesions were recruited over 3 years and followed-up for 4.6 (3-6) years. A low risk group (n=124) had a VPT B 25 V while 184 had a VPT]25 V (high risk). In all 220 patients (71%) complied with the programme, compliance being 76 and 68% in low and high risk groups. The low risk group developed nine ulcers in nine patients, and the high risk group 24 ulcers in 19 patients. Of these eight and 19 ulcers, respectively, were in the non-compliant patient group, giving relative risk of 22 and eight compared with people attending the programme. Thus compliance with a preventative foot programme reduces the incidence of foot ulceration in people with diabetes with neuropathy. This decrease is relatively greater in patients with less severity of neuropathy. The simple design should be widely generalisable.
