The diabetic neuropathies are common and remain a major source of morbidity. Optimal treatment at this time requires good control of blood sugar,managing symptoms, and fastidious attention to foot care. The disappointing lack of benefit of other treatments may be related to the fact that most were trialled in patients with established neuropathy. It is probable that future pharmacological treatments for the more common DSDP will have to be directed at early neuropathy. This may provide the impetus to rekindle the neurologist's interest and involvement in the diagnosis and management of diabetic neuropathy.
