The relationship between the Auditory Evoked Potential (AEP) and the glycemic levels were well studied in various studies. The Metformin and Insulin alters the glycemic levels which causes Auditory Evoked Potential (AEP) changes are understudied.
To compare Auditory Evoked Potential (AEP) changes in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients with Metfornin and Insulin.
In this study, the type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients (n-90) age, height and weight were recorded. Auditory Evoked Potential (AEP) was recorded by using RMS polywrite.
Auditory Evoked Potential (AEP) latencies were lesser in Insulin group (wave III-3.6 ± 0.3) when compared with Metformin group (wave III-4.2 ± 0.2).
With our results, we conclude that tight glycemic control helps in avoiding adverse side effects.
