This is the first of a series of reports on diabetic neuropathy. Peripheral or somatic diabetic neuropathy is discussed with reference to its major symptoms: central, peripheral and amyotrophic mononeuropathies, symmetrical and asymmetrical polyneuropathies, peripheral arthropathy and finally diabetic cachexia. The various theories on the pathogenesis of peripheral neuropathy are presented. Finally data on 173 type I and II diabetics are presented. These patients, treated in outpatients departments, were paired by sex, weight and age with an equal number of non-diabetic subjects. The results of the survey largely confirm report in the literature. The importance of continuous medical surveillance for the identification and hence prevention of diabetic neuropathy is emphasized. This is particularly necessary since we have still much to learn about the natural history of the disease and for the moment the therapeutic approaches to the various neuropathies concerned are both tentative and symptomatic.

D010525 Peripheral Nerves The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, including the autonomic, cranial, and spinal nerves. Peripheral nerves contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons. The connective tissue layers include, from the outside to the inside, the epineurium, the perineurium, and the endoneurium.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
