Laser-Evoked Potentials in the Early Diagnosis of Diabetic Neuropathy and Their Association with Cardiovascular Autonomic Reflex Tests: A Retrospective Observational Study in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
: Our findings corroborated literature data regarding length-dependent LEP alterations detectable even in initial diabetic stages. The lack of correlation between LEP abnormalities and autonomic dysfunction may stem from the predominant involvement of C fibers in autonomic neuropathy, which are not adequately assessed by currently used LEPs.
