Abstract
Characterizing distal peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus in a semi-urban community setting in Peru
Highlights
Distal peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a devastating complication of type 2 diabetes that is causing medical and economic burden worldwide, especially in developing nations like Peru
The high prevalence of DPN and high amount of undiagnosed and uncontrolled cases of type 2 diabetes demonstrate a need for earlier detection, stricter glycemic control, and improved screening, especially in resource-constrained settings like Peru
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has almost doubled over the past decades, from 4.7% to 8.5%, with the fastest rise in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). 1, 2
Summary
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of DPN in a community-based setting in Peru
