The 3rd edition of this book provides a comprehensive, fully updated, overview of diabetic neuropathy. Divided into three sections, chapters are authored by leading scientists and physicians in the world. The 1st section, Clinical Features and Diagnosis, discusses the clinical examination of diabetic neuropathy as well as the use of objective point-of-care devices in diagnosis. The 2nd section, Pathophysiology, reviews the pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathy and potential therapeutic targets. The last section, Clinical Consequences and Treatments, reviews the management of diabetic neuropathies as well as the latest treatment options for various neuropathies.
Diabetic Neuropathy, Third Edition , will be of interest to clinicians, practitioners, and researchers, as well as students, residents, and fellows.

Offers a comprehensive, up-to-date resource for diabetic neuropathy Presents a critical review of the latest techniques for the clinical management of diabetic neuropathy Discusses new techniques of detecting neuropathy and phenotyping the disease
