Although the exact mechanism has not yet been fully clarified, vestibular dysfunction has been demonstrated in diabetic patients (Agrawal et al., 2009; Agrawal et al., 2010; Ward et al., 2015). The ratio of vestibular dysfunction was shown 70% higher among diabetic patients than in healthy people (Agrawal et al., 2009). The falling risk is significantly increased in DM and diabetic neuropathy (DNP) (Agrawal et al., 2010). Besides the role of DNP, peripheral vestibular end-organ pathologies may also promote balance impairments in these patients. Agrawal et al. (2010) reported that vestibular dysfunction may independently induce balance disorders even after adjusting for DNP in patients with DM. Moreover, vestibular dysfunction may occur without prominent vestibular symptoms in patients with DM, as was recently introduced to the literature as ‘subclinical vestibular neuropathy’ (Konukseven et al., 2015).
