NEUROPATHY AND PREDIABETES

Abstract

This article discusses diabetic neuropathy, one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). According to several clinical studies, the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy is 30–50% among all patients with DM, and some authors believe that idiopathic neuropathy is a marker of prediabetes. The role of timely diagnosis and early initiation of therapy for the successful treatment of diabetic neuropathy and the prevention of serious complications of DM is emphasized.
