The prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy was 8.2% among youth with type 1 diabetes and 25.7% among those with type 2 diabetes, according to data reported by the SEARCH For Diabetes in Youth study group.
Young patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were also more likely to have type 2 diabetes and an adverse cardiovascular risk profile (ie, central obesity, higher blood pressure, lower HDL cholesterol and microalbuminuria), according to Mamta Jaiswal, MBBS, PhD, of the department of neurology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and colleagues.
