Nerve action potential amplitude, a robust marker of diabetic peripheral neuropathy

We were interested in the recent publication of Peterson et al. (1) who reported a progressive reduction of sural nerve amplitudes from 10.9μV to 7.0μV, during a ten year follow-up of 87 people with varying degrees of glucose intolerance. This reduction was more pronounced for people whose glucose tolerance deteriorated during the follow-up period, and paralleled their increasing HbA1c. In contrast, nerve conduction velocities only decreased from 47.6 to 45.8 m/s, without any significant relation to HbA1c This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
