Painful forms of diabetic neuropathy

Presse Med. 2024 Apr 23:104236. doi: 10.1016/j.lpm.2024.104236. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiabetic neuropathy is a frequent and severe degenerative complication of diabetes. The diagnosis is easily performed in painful symptomatic patients. Sensitivity disorders responsible for numbness, tingling, and loss of feeling are part and parcel of diabetic foot syndrome and require investigation in view of preventing trophic ulcers. To date, there exists no specific treatment for diabetic neuropathy possibly preventable by careful control of metabolic disorder. Effective management of diabetic patients would make it possible to limit the dramatic consequences of diabetic neuropathy while at the same time acting on other complications.PMID:38663725 | DOI:10.1016/j.lpm.2024.104236
