P237 Axonal excitability findings in type 1 diabetes mellitus – Median nerve versus tibial nerve comparison

Length dependent peripheral neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). As no curative treatment for diabetic polyneuropathy (DMP) is available, its prevention and early detection is very important. Axonal excitability is defined as the capability of nodal and paranodal pathological changes in DMP. The aim of present study was to determine alterations in axonal excitability findings in tibial nerve by comparing median nerve axonal excitability findings in Type 1 DMP.
