Neuropathy

Real-world data from the UK Biobank show the value of a healthy lifestyle in people with type 2 diabetes hoping to avoid microvascular complications.

Study findings suggest that the presence of microvascular complications is associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality in people with type 2 diabetes hospitalized for COVID-19.

Combination therapy with three commonly used medications has achieved similar levels of pain relief for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain in the randomized OPTION-DM trial.

People with diabetes who attend an annual wellness check are significantly less likely to require a major lower extremity amputation within the same year, shows research from the US Diabetes Belt.
