Abstract:
Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Most clinical and population studies indicate that its prevailing form is distal symmetric, affecting about 30% of patients with diabetes. The main clinical manifestation of this form of DN is a decrease (up to a complete loss) of sensitivity, which is either not recognized by the patient or is perceived as numbness, loss of any sensations in the lower extremities. At the same time, in a relative minority of patients, the leading symptom in the DN clinical presentation is pain, which, in some cases, reaches high intensity, disrupts working ability, daily activity, and sleep.
