Abstract Background/Aim: Diabetes mellitus (DM) accelerates the development of neuropathy, and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common form of entrapment neuropathy. The pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy is multifactorial with its vascular and metabolic factors. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship among the electrophysiological severity of CTS, lipid profile and serum atherogenic index in patients with Type 2 DM. Methods: In this hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional study, we retrospectively evaluated 202 type 2 DM patients, who presented to the electrophysiology laboratory of Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University Faculty of Medicine between 2016-2019 and investigated the relationship among the electrophysiological severity of CTS, lipid profile and serum atherogenic index of 131 patients diagnosed with CTS.
