I did a search on this question...

I found other diseases that cause PN also affect QT...
HIV and liver disease, in addition to diabetes.

Here is a great QT resource:

Low Potassium and magnesium are also culprits...so make sure you do not go low in either or both. Low levels will trigger an
episode.
