Abstract
Background: The estimates of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy prevalence vary widely from 9.6 to 78% in
different populations. this study was undertaken to study the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in diabetes
mellitus type-2 pateints and to find the association between biochemical parameters like blood sugar (Fasting, PP),
HbA1c, lipid profile, 24-hours urinary albumen excretion with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Methodology: This
observational study was conducted among randomly selected outdoor and indoor Diabetes Mellitus type-2 patients
of GSVM Medical College Kanpur. Diagnosis of diabetes peripheral neuropathy was made on the basis of history,
clinical examination and vibration perception. Multivariate regression analysis was used to find the predictors of
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Results: Majority of patients were aged 60 years and above (57.84%). Prevalence of
diabetic neuropathy was 60.7%. Significant association between high blood sugar and peripheral neuropathy was
found (<0.05). Conclusion: Screening of Diabetes mellitus and Diabetic peripheral neuropathy can be useful in its
early detection and prompt treatment.
