Abstract:
The continued difficulty in discovering the cause of diabetic neuropathy may be due to the fact that researchers persist in looking for a factor associated with diabetes mellitus which damages nerves. The hypothesis that diabetic neuropathy is in fact related to some diabetes-related factor which slows nerve regeneration seems to fit the observed facts better. A model of nerve regeneration in diabetic neuropathy is presented, which facilitates understanding of recently published data on nerve regeneration in human diabetics.
