摘要
Diabetic neuropathy(DN)is a devastating disorder with an increasing prevalence globally.This epidemic can pose a critical burden on individuals and communities,subsequently affecting the productivity and economic output of a country.With more people living a sedentary lifestyle,the incidence of DN is escalating worldwide.Many researchers have relentlessly worked on ways to combat this devastating disease.Their efforts have given rise to a number of commercially available therapies that can alleviate the symptoms of DN.Unfortunately,most of these therapies are only partially effective.Worse still,some are associated with unfavorable side effects.This narrative review aims to highlight current issues and challenges in the management of DN,especially from the perspective of molecular mechanisms that lead to its progression,with the hope of providing future direction in the management of DN.To improve the approaches to diabetic management,the suggested resolutions in the literature are also discussed in this review.This review will provide an in-depth understanding of the causative mechanisms of DN,apart from the insights to improve the quality and strategic approaches to DN management.
