A comparative study on the diagnostic utility of corneal confocal microscopy and tear neuromediator levels in diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Conclusion: Corneal confocal microscopy parameters provide a better diagnostic ability to detect DPN in T1D and T2D than nerve excitability measures or concentrations of tear neuromediators. The concentration of substance P could also be useful in diagnosing DPN but for T1D only.
