Overview
Diabetic neuropathies are neuropathic disorders that are associated with diabetes mellitus. These conditions are thought to result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (vasa nervorum). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy; mononeuropathy; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful polyneuropathy; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.
Historical Perspective
Little was known about the association of diabetes mellitus with neuropathy as a complication. In 1868, Charcot associated Charcot's Joint(a known complication of prolonged diabetes mellitus) as a complication of Tabes Dorsalis, but failed to establish an association with Diabetes Mellitus. It was not until the 1936, that W.R Jordan established the connection between Diabetes Mellitus, and it's neurogenic arthropathy.
