Mean conduction velocity of median nerve, was significantly lower in diabetics than in controls, but absolute values were within normal range. Neurological examination showed clinical signs of lower limbs neuroperipheral involvement. Only one cognitive subtest performance was abnormal whereas there was no impairment in central conduction velocities. In our study population, although median nerve conduction velocity values may introduce a bias of low peripheral neuropathy incidence, there was no evidence of a massive or progressive specific central nervous system involvement caused by NIDDM.
