The Relation Between Diabetic Neuropathy and Muscle Mass in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

This observational study is examining the link between diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes) and loss of muscle mass in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers want to know whether nerve damage accelerates muscle loss, which could have important implications for treatment and quality of life. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 45 years old or older - You have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes - You are willing to undergo nerve testing and muscle mass measurements **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have type 1 diabetes or gestational diabetes - You have severe heart or lung disease - You have had a prior stroke or Parkinson's disease, or other pre-existing nerve or muscle conditions that could confuse the results - You are currently taking medications known to affect nerve function Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
