In type 2 diabetic patients, elevated IL-6 levels in blood associate with the impairment of motor nerve function (but not at the sensory nerve level) and the development of sensorimotor neuropathy in diabetic patients measured at the level of median, ulnar and peroneal motor nerves and the median, ulnar and sural sensory nerves [21]. Here, IL6 is linked to Sensorimotor neuropathy.
