Diabetic polyneuropathy treatment

Diabetic polyneuropathy is the most frequent complication of diabetes mellitus and at the same time the most common cause of diabetic foot syndrome and pain in patients with diabetes. This disorder is still being diagnosed insufficiently and too late in many cases. Therapeutic intervention in early stages could slow down (or completely stop) progression of the neuropathy. Presented paper reviews current possibilities of prevention and therapy of diabetic polyneuropathy as well as pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals that were, or still are involved in clinical trials.
