Abstract Background Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication estimated to affect 30-50% of individuals with diabetes. It is the most frequent and annoying complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), leading to the greatest morbidity and mortality and giving rise to a huge economic trouble for diabetes care, 2-3%develop a foot ulcer annually. Objective The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between Glycated albumin and peripheral diabetic neuropathy. Method The present study was conducted on 40 patients with diabetes mellitus, who were collected from outpatient clinic in Ain Shams University Hospitals and national institute of diabetes and endocrinology (NIDE), from May to September 2017. Results It found that demyelinted type of diabetic neuropathy (n = 5) significantly had highest FBG (P = 0.031), 2PPBG (P = 0.039) and glycated albumin (P = 0.033) and no significant HbA1c (P = 0.199) however in axonal and mixed types of diabetic neuropathy showed no significant different regards FBG, 2PPBG, HbA1c and glycated albumin (P > 0.05). Conclusion glycated albumin has relationship with peripheral diabetic neuropathy. Also, Glycated albumin≥12.5 (gm/dL) had perfect diagnostic characteristics in diabetic neuropathy.

Patients At Risk

Diabetes mellitus in increasing at an alarming rate and has become a global challenge. Diabetes mellitus type 2 is agroup of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin actionor both. One of the most complications of diabetes is diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy refers to damage ofmotor nerves, sensory, and autonomic system. The aim of this study is to identify patients at risk for diabetic neuropathywith monofilament examination in internist polyclinic Arifin Achmad General Hospital from May to July 2017.Monofilament is an inexpensive, practical tool in everyday use and can be used in early detection of sensation loss inthe foot to prevent diabetic ulcer. This study is descriptive research with direct examination of patient diabetes type 2.There were 73 samples that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Profile patients with diabetes in the polyclinic are female morethan male is 60,3%. The age group 56-65 years is the most age group of DM patients in the polyclinic is 52.1%.Duration of diabetes is 5-10 years (52.1%). The results of monofilament examination in patients with type 2 DM arescore 0-3 as many as 19 people (26%), score of 3.5-5 as many as 27 people (37%), and score> 5,5 as many as 27 people(37%).

Background: We sought to identify the biomechanical characteristics of the feet of patients with diabetes mellitus and the interrelationship with diabetic neuropathy by determining the range of joint mobility and the presence and locations of calluses and foot deformities. Methods: This observational comparative study involved 281 patients with diabetes mellitus who underwent neurologic and vascular examinations. Joint mobility studies were performed, and deformities and hyperkeratosis locations were assessed. Results: No substantial differences were found between patients with and without neuropathy in joint mobility range. Neuropathy was seen as a risk factor only in the passive range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (mean ± SD: 57.2° ± 19.5° versus 50.3° ± 22.5°, P = .008). Mean ± SD ankle joint mobility values were similar in both groups (83.0° ± 5.2° versus 82.8° ± 9.3°, P = .826). Patients without neuropathy had a higher rate of foot deformities such as hallux abductus valgus and hammer toes. There was also a higher presence of calluses in patients without neuropathy (82.8% versus 72.6%; P = .039). Conclusions: Diabetic neuropathy was not related to limited joint mobility and the presence of calluses. Patients with neuropathy did not show a higher risk of any of the deformities examined. These findings suggest that the etiology of biomechanical alterations in diabetic people is complex and may involve several anatomically and pathologically predisposing factors.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a cause of health problems which occurs in most countries. Approximately 13 - 15% of all patients with diabetes mellitus will experience peripheral circulatory disorders. Foot exercise and foot care are interventions that can be implemented to prevent foot ulcers.Methods: This study employed a pre-post-test quasi-experimental design with a control group. The sample consisted of 94 patients with diabetes mellitus who were assigned to the intervention group (n=47) and the control group (n=47) respectively. Consecutive sampling was used to recruit the samples. The instruments used to collect the data included 10-g monofilament for the diabetic neuropathy test, a HbA1c test and a sphygmomanometer. The collected data was analyzed using a paired t-test.Results: The results of this study showed there to be significant effects from foot exercise and foot care on the HbA1c test, in relation to the frequency of the dorsalis pedis artery and diabetic neuropathy with a significance value of 0.00 (p<0.05). However, in the ankle-brachial index measurement, there were no significant differences between the intervention and control groups with a significance value of 0.26 (p>0.05).Conclusion: Foot exercise and foot care can be one of the independent nursing interventions used to prevent the complications of diabetes mellitus, as they have been proven to improve the peripheral vascular status of patients with diabetes mellitus by 70-80%.
