Abstract

In India, diabetes-related problems, both microvascular and macrovascular, are extremely common. As the frequency of Diabetic Mellitus (DM) rises, so does the number of persons suffering from DM complications. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PN) is the most common result among people with diabetes, with an average of 18.8 to 61.9 percent in India. PN can be diagnosed early and accompanying consequences can be avoided. Screening programmes in primary care can help in early identification of problems and improve health outcomes for diabetic patients. The purpose of this study was to find out how common PN is and what factors contribute to it in type-2 diabetes patients who visited a rural health clinic.
