It can progress rapidly over the course of days or weeks. Diabetic neuropathy can progress at different times depending on the type of damage the person has. It can progress rapidly over days or weeks, or more slowly over many years. About half of people with diabetes have nerve damage. Often, symptoms don't start until many years after a diabetes diagnosis.
Some people who have diabetes that develops slowly already have nerve damage when they are first diagnosed. Of a total of 463 study participants, 77 (16.63%) (95% CI: 13.23%, 20.03%) had developed diabetic neuropathy, with 3716.71 person-years (PY) of observations. The incidence of diabetic neuropathy was calculated from the beginning of the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes to the last follow-up visit. The present study reported that the risks of developing diabetic neuropathy increased among anemic patients compared to non-anemic patients.
These findings indicate that most diabetic patients were diagnosed with late stage diabetes mellitus and were at risk of developing diabetic neuropathy at an early stage. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the time elapsed until the onset of type 2 diabetes (DM2) and its predictive factors in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (DM2) patients in northwestern Ethiopia. To the author's knowledge, in these areas of study, no follow-up studies were conducted on the risk of diabetic neuropathy in type 2 diabetes. In the current study, the duration of DM was an important variable that had a negative association with diabetic neuropathy in newly diagnosed DM2. People can take several steps at home to ease the pain and discomfort caused by diabetic neuropathy, a possible complication of diabetes.
Patients who did not develop diabetic neuropathy or who died missed follow-up or transfer before developing diabetic neuropathy during the study period. Diabetic neuropathy usually develops slowly over time and can cause symptoms such as pain, numbness and tingling. Usually, a doctor will diagnose diabetic neuropathy by asking a person a series of questions about their symptoms, taking a complete medical history, performing a physical exam, and ordering several tests. This may be because most diabetic complications have a similar risk factor, especially poor glycemic control, and this leads to the coexistence of different diabetic complications.
According to the present study, the risks of developing diabetic neuropathy increased among newly diagnosed people with type 2 diabetes who had other complications of DM than their counterparts. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates show that the risk of developing diabetic neuropathy was higher among patients with anemia than among patients with anemia. To diagnose diabetic neuropathy, the doctor may perform several tests, such as nerve conduction studies and electromyography. The median survival was 233.77 months, indicating that the study ended when 50% of the study subjects developed diabetic neuropathy (fig.
