Correlation between diabetic peripheral neuropathy and thyroid hormone sensitivity in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
In elderly patients with T2DM with euthyroidism, a lower FT<sub>3</sub>/FT<sub>4</sub> ratio is correlated with increased DPN incidence, affecting both large and small nerve fibers. FT<sub>3</sub>/FT<sub>4</sub> is an effective predictor of DPN.
