789 patients with diabetes mellitus were studied by clinical and electroneurographical investigation. Motor and sensory conduction velocities of the median nerve and motor conduction velocity of the tibial nerve were determined. 86.1% of the patients suffered from juvenile diabetes, and 13.9% from maturity onset diabetes. Average duration of the disease was 9.5 years, average age of the patients was 26.7 years. Clinical signs of polyneuropathy were found in 19.1%. In 40.9% of the patients at least one of 3 conduction velocities was found to be delayed. Patients with clinical signs of polyneuropathy exhibited delayed nerve conduction velocities and delayed distal latencies. Diagnosis of polyneuropathy almost with certainty is possible by determining the three nerve conduction velocities and the three corresponding distal latencies. 22% of patients without clinical signs of polyneuropathy exhibited electroneurographical signs of impaired peripheral nerve function. Heredity, body weight, lipid metabolism, actual metabolic balance, and treatment were found to be without any significant influence on nerve conduction velocity.
