Abstract
We have examined the variability in function measurementsof three sensory foot nerves in neuropathic diabetic pa-
tients and have compared them to measurementsfrom healthy non-diabetic subjects. Sixty-six healthy, non-diabetic
subjects (30 (45%) males, mean age 56 years (range, 21-84 years)) and 61 age and sex matched diabetic patients (33
(54%) males, mean age 55 years (range, 34-78 years) Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), mean duration of DM 24 years
(range, 2-48 years)) were tested. Current perception threshold (CPT) at 250 Hz was employed to test the sensory func-
tion of three nerves: superficial peroneal, sural and posterior tibia]. The vibration perception threshold, (VP
