Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is the most common chronic complication of diabetes mellitus. It is known that DPN not only significantly reduces the quality of life of patients, but also causes more formidable consequences of the disease - diabetic foot syndrome and limb amputation. Given the key role of hyperglycemia in the pathogenesis of DPN, the main direction in the prevention and treatment of this condition is adequate control of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.
