What's being measured

Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.

• Nerve conduction parameters
  Time frame: NCS performed once, within one day after enrollment
  Nerve conduction study (NCS) parameters of the dorsal sural, medial dorsal cutaneous and medial plantar nerves, along with standard NCS of the tibial and peroenal motor, sural, superficial peronea, median and radial sensory nerves.

Sponsor's own description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the distal sensory nerves of the feet, namely, the dorsal sural, medial dorsal cutaneous and medial plantar nerves, in patients with impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus type 2 and compare these parameters to those from healthy participants.
