Changes of Blink Reflex in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Table 4

Differences in blink reflex among the normal, T2DM without DSPN, and T2DM with DSPN groups.

	Healthy ()	T2DM without DSPN ()	T2DM with DSPN ()	value
R1 latency (ms)^†
IR2 latency (ms)^‡†				0.001
CR2 latency (ms)^†				0.005
IR2 duration (ms)^‡
CR2 duration (ms)^‡

^† for the pairwise comparison of the healthy, T2DM without DSPN, and T2DM with DSPN groups. ^‡ for the comparison between the T2DM with DSPN group with the other two groups; for the comparison between the normal group and the T2DM without DSPN groups. Abbreviations: IR2: ipsilateral R2; CR2: contralateral R2; DSPN: diabetic distal symmetric polyneuritis.
