['Vitamin B12 deficiency could be associated with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in diabetes patients. We aim to investigate the association between serum levels of vitamin B12 and CAN in type 2 diabetes patients.', '469 ambulatory type 2 diabetes patients (mean diabetes duration 10.0years (IQR 5.0;17.0), mean age 59.0years (SD 11.6), 63% men, mean B12 289.0pmol/l (IQR 217;390)) were screened for CAN using three cardiovascular reflex tests, five minute resting heart rate (5min RHR) and heart rate variability indices.', 'Serum levels of vitamin B12 were significantly lower in patients treated with metformin and/or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) compared with patients not treated (p<0.001). A 25pmol/l higher level of vitamin B12 was associated with an odds ratio of the CAN diagnosis of 0.94 (95% CI 0.88; 1.00, p=0.034), an increase in E/I-ratio of 0.21% (95% CI 0.01; 0.43, p=0.038), and a decrease in 5min RHR of 0.25 beats per minute (95% CI -0.47; -0.03, p=0.025).'] Is vitamin B12 deficiency associated with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes?
