However, a dependable diagnosis of DSP requires nerve conduction studies (NCS). In the present study, we emphasize on the utility of dorsal sural sensory nerve action potential (dsSNAP) abnormality over sural sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) abnormality in detecting early DSP. Furthermore, we study the correlation between the clinical findings and sural SNAP and dsSNAP abnormalities.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study included 101 persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (PWD; 202 lower extremities [LEs]) aged 18-70 years, with the duration of T2DM being ≥6 months. Normative data was generated from controls (200 LEs). Clinical and electrophysiological findings of the study group were analyzed and discussed in comparison with the normative data. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis determined the optimal cut-off for different sensory modalities, and Spearman's correlation tests were applied to analyze the correlation between NCS and clinical parameters.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>dsSNAP was abnormal in 39.1%, while sural SNAP was abnormal in 9.8% of asymptomatic PWD. Early neuropathy was detectable with subjective losses of 10% in temperature and pain sensations, 20% in touch sensation, and vibration duration <12 sec.
