Abstract
Introduction:Peripheral neuropathy is a common and disabling complication of diabetic mellitus.Although the exact etiology and pathogenesis of neuropathy is still uncertain, many investigators reported that metabolic changes contribute to diabetic neuropathy 1 .Symmetrical sensory polyneuropathy, the most common of the diabetic neuropathy is considered to have a metabolic cause 2 .There is evidence that the duration of impaired diabetic control, in particular, contributes to disturbed nerve function 3 .In diabetic neuropathic disorder, sensory, motor and autonomic functions are affected in varying degrees with sensory function predominating 4 .In diabetic polyneuropathy, sensory nerve conduction is believed to be more impaired than motor nerve conduction; sensory Electrophysiological Changes of Sensory Nerves In Patients with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus of Different Duration
