They were interviewed for a detailed history and clinical examination. After ruling out other causes of peripheral neuropathy these patients were subjected to nerve conduction studies. The patients were explained about the procedure. Fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, random blood sugar and glycosylated were estimated for these patients.
