Abstract

The article describes the main diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2 complications. In-depth attention is given to diabetic neuropathy as it is one of the most widespread chronic complications and occurs approximately in 50% of diabetes patients. Pathogenic mechanisms of their development are discussed. Diagnostic criteria for diabetic neuropathies are presented. Classification, main clinical and paraclinical criteria and severity stages of the most common neuropathy type - diabetic distal symmetric polyneuropathy are reviewed. Differential-diagnostic characteristics of diabetic neuropathies are described. Main clinical manifestations of autonomic nervous system damage in diabetes mellitus patients are presented. Pasic principles and medications used in diabetic neuropathies treatment are described. The question of thioctic acid use in diabetic neuropathies treatment is addressed.
