1.What is diabetic peripheral neuropathy? Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common chronic complications of diabetes, and the lesions can involve both central and peripheral nerves, with the latter being particularly common. Among them, distal sensory neuropathy is the most common lesion, accounting for more than 50% of all diabetic neuropathies. 2. What are the manifestations of diabetic peripheral neuropathy? Symptoms begin at the distal end of the limb and gradually progress to the proximal end, with a glove-sock-like distribution range, usually starting from the lower limb. Sensory impairment is the main cause, accompanied by varying degrees of autonomic symptoms, while motor impairment is relatively mild. The onset of the disease is mostly insidious. 3.How can diabetic peripheral neuropathy be detected early? Electromyography has a certain value in the diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It can detect subclinical nerve damage, and there are obvious changes in the early stage of diabetes, even before clinical symptoms appear, so it has early diagnostic value. 4.Can diabetic peripheral neuropathy be treated surgically? Yes. Incisions are made on the lateral side of the knee, the medial side of the ankle and the anterolateral side of the dorsum of the foot to explore the common peroneal nerve, the deep peroneal nerve and the posterior tibial nerve, and release them to achieve the effect of releasing the compression.
