Is neuropathy in patients with diabetes always due to diabetes?
There are various forms of diabetic neuropathy and distal polyneuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM).
10% of patients with DM present neuropathy at the time of diagnosis, while this percentage rises from 40 to 60% depending on whether electrophysiology or only clinical criteria are used.
However, not all patients with neuropathy and DM have a neuropathy caused by their DM, and in one in 10 diabetic patients with neuropathy the cause is not DM. Likewise, 10 to 50% of diabetic patients, according to different studies, have one or more potential causes of neuropathy.
