Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) occurs in up to half of individuals with types 1 (T1D) and 2 diabetes (T2D). DPN is a distal-to-proximal loss of peripheral nerve function causing physical disability and possibly pain, lowering quality-of-life. Early diagnosis improves clinical outcomes, but lifetime prognosis remains poor. Hyperglycemia is a DPN risk factor and glycemic control slows DPN in T1D. However, it has modest or no benefit in individuals with T2D, likely due to the high prevalence of comorbidities, including the metabolic syndrome, an additional risk factor. DPN pathophysiology is complex but converges on a unifying theme of bioenergetic failure in peripheral nerves secondary to their unique anatomy. Current management focuses on controlling diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, and pain, but remains suboptimal. Thus, research is on-going to improve early diagnosis, identify specific molecular pathways to develop mechanism-based therapies, and investigate lifestyle interventions to improve clinical outcomes and disease prognosis.
