Management of diabetic neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is a neurodegenerative disorder that may alter both the somatic and autonomic peripheral nervous systems in the context of diabetes mellitus (DM). It is a prevalent and burdensome chronic complication of DM, that requires timely management. Optimized glycemic control (mainly for type 1 DM), multifactorial intervention (mainly for type 2 DM), with lifestyle intervention/physical exercise, and weight loss represent the basis of management for diabetic distal symmetrical polyneuropathy, and should be implemented early in the disease course.
