Diabetic neuropathy is a heterogeneous entity, grouping multiple disorders, of which the most classic form is distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN). Its diagnosis is based in most cases on a compatible history and clinical examination. Screening for DSPN, to allow the implementation of preventive measures against its complications, remains the cornerstone of management, in the absence of specific treatment. In this article, we propose a review of the different forms of diabetic neuropathy and their management.
