Abstract
The spectrum of diabetes mellitus-associated neuropathies is large, and our knowledge of these entities continues to evolve. There can be nerve damage from metabolic injury, compressive injury, ischemic injury, and from altered immunity, and these varied pathologies can present in many different ways. Identifying the pathogenesis of these entities is valuable, as there are clear differences in treatment strategies, which may range from lifestyle modification and strict glucose control to immunosuppressant medications, and can make significant impact in the quality of life of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus. In order to do this effectively, the caring physician needs to be able to make the correct diagnosis first, before starting the appropriate therapy.
