University of Utah researchers have determined tingling in the feet (neuropathy) could be an early warning indicator for impaired glucose tolerance, or prediabetes.猶他州大學的研究人員已經確定的刺痛，在英尺（神經病）可能是一個早期預警指標，糖耐量受損，或prediabetes 。

67 patients underwent nerve conduction studies as well as a series of other neuropathy testing. 67例患者進行了神經傳導的研究，以及一系列其他神經病變的測試。 They were compared to 52 patients with diabetic neuropathy and 42 with diabetes but no neuropathy.他們相比， 52例糖尿病神經病變和42糖尿病，但沒有神經病變。 The findings showed that the electrophysiologic characteristics were similar between both sets of patients without neuropathic symptoms.調查結果顯示，電生理特徵相似，雙方的套例無神經症狀。

“Awareness of the symptoms and electrophysiologic similarities can lead to early diagnosis and treatment for prediabetes, which we hope will result in improved neuropathy symptoms,” said researcher Dr. Gordon Smith of the University of Utah. “的意識，症狀和電生理的異同，可導致早期診斷和治療為prediabetes ，我們希望這將導致在改善神經病變的症狀，說： ”博士研究員戈登史密斯的猶他州大學的。

The research results will be reported at the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine in Monterey, California, next week.研究結果將報告在美國協會的神經肌肉與電學中醫藥在蒙特瑞，加利福尼亞州，下週。
