ABSTRACT

Diabetes peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications of diabetes. It not only causes physical disability and unbearable pain, but also may lead to emotional and psychological problems, reduce the quality of life of patients, and increase mortality. Although early diagnosis of diabetes may improve the clinical prognosis, the occurrence of DPN is sometimes unavoidable and the treatment is limited. This article summarizes the clinical features, diagnosis, investigations and treatment of DPN by reviewing the latest literature.
