Association of Serum Cholesterol Levels With Peripheral Nerve Damage in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

The findings suggest that lowering serum cholesterol levels in patients with T2D and DPN is associated with a higher amount of nerve lesions and declining nerve conduction velocities and amplitudes. These findings may be relevant to emerging therapies that promote an aggressive lowering of serum cholesterol levels in patients with T2D.
