[Taste sensitivity in diabetic patients].
Taste sensitivity of 33 healthy subjects and 120 diabetic patients, either suffering from complication or not, was compared. Diabetic patients showed statistically significative reduction of sensitiveness for some tastes in some oral zones. Taste decrease looks to be related more to vascular of diabetes, than to neurologic ones.
