Semmelweis University Study Shows Signs that Predict the Onset of Diabetes [Video]

Researchers at Semmelweis University have found minor abnormalities suggestive of neurological disorders in people with a healthy diabetes metabolism but who are at higher risk of developing the disease. Early detection of signs of a condition that causes autonomic and sensory dysfunction can help prevent and treat diabetes more effectively, writes Világgazdaság.

A study by Semmelweis University looked for a link between a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and the onset of Peripheral neuropathy before the onset of symptoms.

Disorders affecting the autonomic and sensory nervous systems are not only found in diabetics, but also in people with blood glucose levels above the normal range who are not yet diabetic – a condition known as pre-diabetes.

However, whether signs of neuropathy can be seen in people who are at medium or high risk for diabetes but are otherwise healthy has not yet been tested.
