Background: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic abnormality due to either decreased secretion of insulin or decreased tissue sensitivity of insulin resulting in elevated blood glucose. Most common complication of diabetes is peripheral neuropathy. In this research project, we will be conducting a pilot study to observe the effect of glycaemic control on physiological functioning of nerve with the help of neurophysiological parameters, independent of duration of diabetes. Objectives: To investigate relationship of quality of glycemic control & severity of neurological changes. To find out whether glycemic control acts as an independent risk factor for progression of diabetic neuropathy despite the duration of diabetes. To validate the HBA1C at 10 for future longitudinal study to understand the association between glycemic control & progression of neuropathy. Methodology: 60 type II diabetic patients visiting diabetic OPD (Medicine) will participate in the study. The patients will be divided in to 2 groups of Group number 1 with (30 subjects) HBA1C < 10 and Group number 2 having (30 subjects) HBA1C >10. Electrodiagnostic study will be conducted on motor (tibial nerve) and sensory (sural nerve) will be performed in Neurophysiology lab. Neurophysiological parameters data of two groups will be analysed and compared. Expected Results: The pilot study will help to find out whether glycaemic control acts as a separate risk factor for progression of diabetic neuropathy despite duration of diabetes. Conclusion: This pilot study will help to establish the association between quality of glycaemic control and severity of neurological changes. Also, this will help to validate the HBA1C at 10 for further longitudinal study to know whether poor diabetes control is an independent risk factor associated to the severity of neuropathy in type II diabetes.

Rationale, aims and objectives: Despite the broad acceptance of the phase-oriented therapy for Type II chronic trauma in clinical practice, there remains very little empirical evidence to support its validity. Moreover, evaluative studies of group psychotherapy for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after chronic trauma remain scarce, especially within the partial inpatient setting. The present study reports the evaluation of phase-oriented group therapy for Type II traumatized female partial inpatients with chronic PTSD. The treatment involved 3 phases: (a) symptom reduction/stabilisation, (b) trauma processing, (c) life integration/rehabilitation. Special attention to women’s mental healthcare needs (e.g., training of skills to increase sense of security, self-esteem, autonomy) was also given. Methods: In a pilot study with 31 female partial inpatients, pre- and post-treatment measures were compared in our study of PTSD (Self-Rating Inventory for PTSD, SRIP), General Psychopathology (Symptom Checklist 90, SCL-90), coping (Utrecht Coping List, UCL). Results: At post-treatment, there was a reduction of all PTSD symptom clusters and some general psychopathology (medium to high effect sizes) and an increase of some adaptive coping strategies (low to medium effect sizes). Linear regression analyses showed that the pre-treatment scores of re-experiencing, hyperarousal, total PTSD, agoraphobia and somatic complaints, had a significant predictive influence on outcome. Conclusions: The positive results of this pilot study support the validity of phase-oriented and women-focused group therapy for Type II traumatized partial inpatients with chronic PTSD. These findings warrant further investigation, using a randomized design with larger sample size and assessments in between the phases and during follow-up. We advance our pilot study as a significant contribution to the person-centered management of complex trauma history
