Abstract
While acute and monophasic diabetic neuropathy variants are considered relatively uncommon, diabetes mellitus affects over 6% of the global population, with more than 50% experiencing some form of diabetic neuropathy. Treatment-induced neuropathy of diabetes is an iatrogenic, transient neuropathy characterised by small fibre involvement precipitated by rapid glycaemic control. Diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy is an asymmetric, predominantly motor neuropathy of the lower limbs, typically starting with localised leg pain. We present a 59-year-old man manifesting features of both conditions following a 12.5% decrease in glycated haemoglobin over 3 months.
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
