ABSTRACT
Of the various types of micro‑ and macrocomplications associated with diabetes, the most common and serious complication is the nerve damage characterized by numbness
in hands and feet, effecting the proper functioning of organs such as kidney and heart to complete paralysis of body. These series of neurological conditions are referred to as diabetic neuropathy (DN). There are four most common types of DN, namely peripheral neuropathy (PN) also known as distal neuropathy, autonomous neuropathy (AN), proximal neuropathy also called as diabetic amyotrophy or radiculoplexus neuropathy, and mononeuropathy (MN) also called as focal neuropathy.
