Abstract
The NISLL scale and 7 electrophysiological tests were used to diagnose distal symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy in 120 inpatients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The high rate (68.3%) of symptomatic or subclinical polyneuropathy was found. The duration of metabolic disturbances rather than short-term fluctuations in glycemia in terms of HbA1c levels was shown to mainly affect the degree of polyneuropathy in the patients of this group. The additional risk factors of polyneuropathy were retinopathy, smoking or hyperlipidemia.
