Longitudinal effects of one-leg standing time on neuropathy outcomes in association with glycemic control in non-elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

Diabetic neuropathy leads to postural instability. This study compared longitudinal changes in neuropathy outcomes relative to long-term glycemic control in patients aged <60 years with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes with and without a short one-leg standing time (OLST <60 s).

Materials and methods

In this retrospective study, 58 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] >7.0%; aged 17-59 years), who underwent re-evaluation of neuropathic sensory symptoms, ankle reflexes and nerve conduction attributes, and cardiac autonomic function (R-R interval), >1 year after discharge were divided into OLST <60 and ≥60 s groups. Patients were followed up every 2-3 months for HbA1c levels for up to 8 years. Neuropathy outcomes relative to OLS
