- Symptoms and Signs consistent with LLPN as determined by the Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Scale (Score greater than 6, presence of mild PN). The Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Score quantifies sensory impairment, muscle strength, and reflexes, using vibration, filament, pin prick, and physical touch. Scale ranges from 0-46, with higher score indicating great severity of PN. The score is used to stratify severity of PN, and takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Testing aspects elicit sensation from small and moderate nerve fibers, and is more sensitive to mild to moderate sensory neuropathy. This test was selected rather than the gold standard EMG in order to screen for study subjects, is less invasive, and reduces the burden of subject screening for inclusion into this study.
