What is CIDP and other inflammatory neuropathies in diabetes — diagnosis and management about?

Diabetic neuropathy is the most prevalent chronic complication of diabetes mellitus (referred to through out this Review as diabetes). The term diabetic neuropathy is normally used to refer to the forms of neuro pathy that are most prevalent among patients with diabetes, which are distal symmetric polyneuro pathy (DSPN) and diabetic autonomic neuropathies ; DSPN presents in 10-15% of patients with newly diag nosed type 2 dia betes, and occurs in 36.8% of patients who have had diabetes for >10 years 5,6 . However, not all patients with diabetes and neuropathy symptoms have these typical diabetic neuro pathies , and patients with diabetes can develop inflammatory neuropathies. These inflammatory neuropathies include diabetic radiculoplexus neuro pathies and vasculitic multiple mononeuropathies, but the most common and most treatable is chronic inflammatory demyelinating poly neuropathy (CIDP). Therefore, neuropathies that are not typically associated with diabetes and might be treatable should be actively sought and managed in patients with diabetes 8 , and when a patient with diabetes presents with neurological deficits that are not typical of DSPN, inflammatory neuropathies must be
