Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common metabolic diseases worldwide. The most common complication of DM is diabetic neuropathy (DN), especially diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN). In this study, we aimed at evaluating the effect of serum lipid values on DPN severity. Tools and Methods: Patients who apply to the Electrophysiology Laboratory of the Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Medical Faculty Hospital between 2016-2019 and diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy in the examination of electromyography (EMG) were examined retrospectively. DPN severity was electrophysiologically classified as light, medium, heavy findings: 131 patients diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy were included in our study. 68 of the patients were women and 63 were men. The average age of patients was 64.34±10.9. Electromyography results in 51 patients with severe, 65 with moderate, and 11 with mild diabetic polyneuropathy. There was a significant difference between the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy and hunger blood sugar (p=0,041). As the Hba1c and triglyceride values increased, the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy was observed, but it was not statistically meaningful. Compared with patients with and not with DPN, the triglyceride/HDL cholesterol (TG/HDL-K) was high (p=0,035), while the TG/HDL-K was high in patients with and not with severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe severe The result: Hunger blood sugar, Hba1c control, the regulation of the lipid profile is especially important in terms of protection against DPN. There is a need for prospective planned studies where the number of patients is high.
