摘要
The global number of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes is about to increase substantially in the coming decades. The reasons for this are two-fold, at first there is actual increase in incidence of type 1 diabetes and at second there is global increase in living expectancy and a high prevalence of patients with type 2 diabetes among the elderly. The diabetic condition is affiliated with reduced peripheral nervous system maintenance, such as peripheral neuropathies （Juster-Switlyk and Smith, 2016） that may be more common in men.
