[Neurological complications of diabetes].
One of the hallmarks of diabetes mellitus is its propensity to cause neurological complications. Diabetes is an independent risk factor of stroke. Diabetic neuropathy represents the most common type of peripheral neuropathy in our country. Improved glucose control can improve nerve function and restoration of the euglycemic state appears to stop the progression of the neuropathy. Treatment strategy of painful neuropathy with tricyclic antidepressant, anticonvulsant, anesthesia agents and topical capsaicin is discussed.
