    Abstract:
    Nerve conduction velocities were determined in patients with diabetes mellitus: motor conduction of the median nerve in 778 patients, sensory conduction of the median nerve in 680 patients and motor conduction of the tibial nerve in 745 patients. In 40.9% out of 778 patients at least one of the three nerve conduction velocities were found within pathological ranges. 30.4% of 227 patients below 19 years of age in whom the duration of the disease did not exceed four years exhibited at least one delayed nerve conduction velocity. Clinical signs of polyneuropathy in children and in adolescents below 19 years of age are rare (0.6%). In contrast delayed nerve conduction velocities were found in 29.4%. Metabolic disturbance of peripheral nerve function is assumed to be responsible in these patients, for angiopathy in children and adolescents is very rare too.
