Abstract
Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is a serious complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The major clinical manifestations of DPN are neuropathic pain, diabetic foot (which is associated with ulcers, gangrene, and amputation), and autonomic neuropathy. Diabetic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy (DSPN) is the most common form of DPN and affects approximately 50% of people with type 1 or 2 diabetes during their lifetime (1) . Despite its major clinical impact, DPN remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. To reduce the burdens of DPN, there is an urgent need to develop both novel diagnostic procedures that enable to improve the early detection of the disease and new treatments that address multiple mechanistic pathways (Figure) (2) .
