Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycemia; caused by complex interaction of genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices and classified on the basis of a pathogenic process leading to hyperglycemia. Long standing diabetes mellitus is usually complicated by some form of neuropathy which may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. It may be rapidly reversible, persistent, focal or mixed.DM is associated with several types of polyneuropathy: distal symmetric sensory or sensorimotor polyneuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, diabetic neuropathic cachexia, polyradiculoneuropathies, cranial neuropathies, and other mononeuropathies. Risk factors for the development of neuropathy include longstanding, poorly controlled DM and the presence of retinopathy and nephropathy.1,2AIMS & OBJECTIVES: (1). To study clinical presentation of diabetic neuropathy in type 2 DM. (2). To study biochemical parameters in diabetic neuropathy. CONCLUSION: In our study it is evident that DM neuropathy affects more commonly in males (62%) than females (38%). The most common form of diabetic neuropathy is distal symmetric polyneuropathy.1 In our study; 62% patients have sensory, 38% sensory motor and 52% have autonomic neuropathy. It is also in linear relationship with duration of diabetes mellitus and level of blood glucose; more the duration of DM II and more level of blood glucose, more chances of developing neuropathy
