Investigating the Impact of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Reaction Time to Auditory and Visual Stimuli

Abstract

Autonomic dysfunction develops over time in people with diabetes mellitus. That typicallymeans that the outlook is not good. The test of reaction time is easy and painless, and it may be used toevaluate both the peripheral and central neurological systems. Diabetic patients' response times may bemonitored to detect neurological impairment before it becomes clinically apparent. The impact of type 2diabetes mellitus on response speed is an area that has seen little research. Because of this, researchersset out to see whether T2DM slowed participants' reactions to both auditory and visual stimuli.
