Description
Nesibe Aydogdu and Emel Sabaz Karakeci report a 2026 study of belly fat measures and nerve damage in diabetes. The study covered 562 people with type 2 diabetes seen between 2022 and 2024. Nerve damage was judged by electrical nerve tests and a pain score scale.
Of the group, 213 patients tested positive for nerve damage and 349 did not. The nerve-damage group had higher body mass, blood fats, and blood sugar control markers. Three fat-based scores were also higher in that group. Waist size and one fat score, along with blood sugar control, stood out as separate risk factors. The authors suggest these scores can flag patients at high risk.
