Prediction of Incident Diabetic Neuropathy Using the Monofilament Examination: A 4-year prospective study
TL;DR: Although there are limitations in its specificity for prediction of future neuropathy onset, the monofilament examination is appropriate as a simple diabetic neuropathy screening instrument generalizable to the clinical setting.

Identification and prediction of diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy using individual and simple combinations of nerve conduction study parameters.
Alanna Weisman,Vera Bril,Mylan Ngo,Leif E. Lovblom,Elise M. Halpern,Andrej Orszag,Bruce A. Perkins +6 more
TL;DR: Individual NCS parameters or their simple combinations are valid measures for identification and future prediction of DSP and further research into the predictive roles of tibial F-wave latencies, peroneal conduction velocity, and sum of conduction velocities as markers of incipient nerve injury is needed.
In vivo corneal confocal microscopy and prediction of future-incident neuropathy in type 1 diabetes: a preliminary longitudinal analysis.
Leif E. Lovblom,Elise M. Halpern,Tong Wu,Dylan Kelly,Ausma Ahmed,Genevieve Boulet,Andrej Orszag,Eduardo Ng,Mylan Ngo,Vera Bril,Bruce A. Perkins +10 more
TL;DR: Despite similar clinical and electrophysiologic parameters, participants with type 1 diabetes at risk for future DSP had significantly lower baseline IVCCM measures, suggesting CNFL may have applicability in identifying high-risk patients for therapeutic intervention in clinical research and practice.

Reproducibility of In Vivo Corneal Confocal Microscopy Using an Automated Analysis Program for Detection of Diabetic Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy.

TL;DR: Despite an apparent measurement (underestimation) bias in comparison to the manual strategy of image analysis, fully-automated analysis preserves CNFL reproducibility and future work must determine the diagnostic thresholds specific to the fully-Automated measure of CNFL.
Heart Rate Variability and Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy in Type 1 Diabetes
TL;DR: HRV may be a biomarker for clinical DSP and is associated cross-sectionally with both early and late measures of neuropathy, as well as with validated measures of large and small fiber neuropathy.
