title: Diabetic neuropathy.
abstract: The most common form of diabetic neuropathy is chronic, distal symmetrical sensorimotor, or predominantly sensory neuropathy; the latter is invariably associated with some degree of autonomic dysfunction. There are, however, other neuropathic patterns in diabetes mellitus that are uncommon but are important to recognize, since they may mimic many other non-neurologic diseases. This article discusses a variety of forms of mononeuropathies and diabetic proximal motor neuropathy, commonly known as diabetic amyotropy.
