Impaired vibrotactile sense at low frequencies in fingers in autoantibody positive and negative diabetes.

• Vibration thresholds in index and little finger pulps in subjects with autoantibody [GADA, IA-2A and/or ICA] positive and negative diabetes 20 years after diagnosis were higher than in age-matched controls at low frequencies (8 and 16Hz), irrespective of HbA1c values, indicating selective impairment of Meissner's corpuscles and/or their innervating axons.
