Sensory nerve fiber mechanical thresholds are unaffected in diabetic mice

	Control (n = 99)			Diabetic (n = 96)
	Median	Interquartile range	n	Median	Interquartile range	n
Slowly adapting Aβ	0.7	0.7–1.6	24	0.7	0.7–1.1	11
Rapidly adapting Aβ	0.7	0.3–0.7	20	0.2	0.04–0.3	9
Aδ A-mechanoreceptor	1.6	1.6–4.0	30	4.0	1.6–6.8	43
Aδ down hair	0.1	0.04–0.2	14	0.2	0.04–0.2	13
C-fiber	4.0	1.6–4.0	11	6.8	2.8–9.3	20

Values are von Frey thresholds (in mN); n, number of nerve fibers. Median von Frey thresholds and interquartile ranges for nerve fiber subtypes in diabetic and nondiabetic mice are shown. Subtypes were compared using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests.
