Sensory Threshold Testing
TL;DR: It is found that vibration threshold is related to glycemic level, controlling for age, height, and sex, and in this study this relationship persisted when the authors excluded diabetic subjects from the study.

Abstract: We read with much interest the recent study by Sosenko et al. (1). Studies that screen for both NIDDM and polyneuropathy in subjects without a history of glucose intolerance are rare and therefore welcome. In general, their cross-sectional data agree very well with our findings in a general Caucasian population. We also found that vibration threshold is related to glycemic level, controlling for age, height, and sex. In our study, this relationship persisted when we excluded diabetic subjects from

Sensory function at diagnosis and in early stages of NIDDM in patients detected through screening
TL;DR: Although sensory function tends to be normal at diagnosis in NIDDM patients, there appears to be a diminution in sensory function as the disease progresses, and an interaction between metabolic factors and height may influence sensory function early in the course of NID DM.
