Tibial nerve cross‐sectional area (CSA) and nerve conduction study results in type 2 diabetes patients by modified Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (mTCNS). Tibial nerve CSA was measured by peripheral nerve ultrasound for 156 participants with type 2 diabetes and divided into quartiles based on mTCNS. There is a stepwise increase in tibial nerve CSA with increasing neuropathy severity. Mean sural and tibial nerve amplitudes for each quartile of mTCNS demonstrate a stepwise reduction in nerve conduction amplitudes with increasing neuropathy severity.
