4. Diabetic Neuropathy: Size and Cost
• DM affects about 300 million individual worldwide.
• Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common
manifestations of diabetes and potentially its most
debilitating.
• It affects approximately 30% of all patients with
diabetes.
• It quietly and insidiously places its victim at high risk
for devastating complications.

Neuropathy
A. Diffuse Neuropathy
1. Distal symmetric sensorimotor neuropathy
2. Autonomic neuropathy
a. Sudomotor
b. Cardiovascular
c. Gastrointestinal
d. Genitourinary
3. Symmetrical proximal lower limb motor neuropathy
(amyotrophy)
B. Focal Neuropathy
1. Cranial neuropathy
2. Radiculopathy and plexopathy
3. Entrapment neuropathy
15. Nociceptive and Neuropathic Pain
Nociceptive pain Neuropathic pain
Adaptive Maladaptive
Identifiable stimuli that normally Often spontaneous (occurring without
produce tissue damage identifiable stimuli)
Usually self-limiting Often chronic
Transmitted by structurally and May involve structural and functional
functionally intact pain pathways changes in pain pathways
Examples: post-operative pain, burns, Examples: Polyneuropathy
ischemic pain (eg, diabetic, HIV), trigeminal
neuralgia, central post-stroke pain
Clinical pain syndromes occur along a spectrum from nociceptive to neuropathic
Nociceptive and neuropathic pain may coexist in the same patient

21. Serotonin & Norepinephrine
Play a Major Role in Pain
♦ Neuropathic pain is
associated with increased
excitation and decreased
inhibition of ascending
pain pathways
♦ Descending pathways
modulate ascending signals 5-HT
♦ NE and 5-HT are key
neurotransmitters in
descending inhibitory
pain pathways
NE
♦ Increasing the availability of
NE and 5-HT may promote pain
inhibition centrally

24. ADA Neuropathy screening and
treatment Recommendations
• All patients should be screened for distal symmetric
polyneuropathy (DPN) at diagnosis and at least annually
thereafter using simple clinical tests. (B)
• Electrophysiological testing is rarely needed, except in
situations where the clinical features are atypical. (E)
• Screening for signs and symptoms of cardiovascular
autonomic neuropathy should be instituted at diagnosis of
type 2 diabetes and 5 years after the diagnosis of type 1
diabetes. Special testing is rarely needed and may not
affect management or outcomes. (E)
• Medications for the relief of specific symptoms related to
DPN and autonomic neuropathy are recommended, as they
improve the quality of life of the patient. (E)
Diabetes Care January 2011 34:S11-S61
25. ADA Neuropathy screening and treatment
Recommendations
Diagnosis of neuropathy
Distal symmetric polyneuropathy
• Patients with diabetes should be screened annually for DPN
using tests such as pinprick sensation, vibration
perception (using a 128-Hz tuning fork), 10-g monofilament
pressure sensation at the distal plantar aspect of both great
toes and metatarsal joints, and assessment of ankle
reflexes.
• Combinations of more than one test have >87% sensitivity
in detecting DPN. Loss of 10-g monofilament perception
and reduced vibration perception predict foot ulcers

Control
• DCCT (1995)
– Tight control-3% neuropathy at 5 years
– Conventional-10%
• UKPDS (1998)
– Tight control (HbA1c 7%)-31.2% neuropathy at 15
years
– Conventional (HbA1c 7.9%)-51.7%
– P=0.005
– No protective effect seen for BP control
32. Treatment of diabetic neuropathic pain
Neuropathic pain remains one of the most challenging
of all neurological diseases and presents a large
unmet need for improved therapies.
Mechanism-based approaches have highlighted key areas
for intervention including the reduction of peripheral and
central hyperexcitability or increasing spinal inhibition
by enhancing monoaminergic activity
33. ADA: Neuropathy treatment
recommendations management
• The first step in management of patients with
DPN should be to aim for stable and optimal
glycemic control and avoidance of extreme blood
glucose fluctuations
• Patients with painful DPN may benefit from
pharmacological treatment of their symptoms

♦ Of all the DPNP patients reporting nausea, 92% reported it as mild to moderate
♦ Nausea occurred primarily during the first week of treatment and resolved
rapidly with continued treatment (median duration 5 days)

46. No Evidence of an Increased Risk of
Suicidality with Duloxetine
♦ The data from studies of adult patients with MDD demonstrate that
duloxetine significantly reduces the risk of worsening suicidal
ideation and significantly increases the chances for improvement in
ideation for patients who had suicidal ideation at baseline.
♦ The data from studies of adult patients with nonpsychiatric
indications (including SUI, FM and DPNP) support the conclusion
that duloxetine is not associated with the development of suicidal
ideation in depressed or non-depressed adult patients receiving
duloxetine for any of the indications.
NOTE: The duloxetine FDA black box warning about suicidality in adults is derived from a meta-analysis
of all drugs in this class. Although primarily based on studies of MDD, the warning applies to all
indications.

47. Take home message
• Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common
manifestations of diabetes and potentially its
most debilitating
• All patients should be screened for distal
symmetric polyneuropathy (DPN) at diagnosis
and at least annually thereafter using simple
clinical tests
• Patients who can not feel the 10-g monofilament
should receive advice about foot care
• Duloxetine, a potent and balanced dual 5-HT and
NE reuptake inhibitor, has been shown to
significantly decrease pain in DPNP patients
