Abstract
Abnormal NAD+ signaling has been implicated in axonal degeneration in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). We hypothesized that supplementing NAD+ precursors could alleviate DPN symptoms through increasing the NAD+ levels and activating the sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) protein. To test this, we exposed cultured Dorsal Root Ganglion neurons (DRGs) to Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) or Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN), which increased the levels of NAD+, the SIRT1 protein, and the deacetylation activity that is associated with increased neurite growth. A SIRT1 inhibitor blocked the neurite growth induced via NR or NMN. We then induced neuropathy in C57BL6 mice with streptozotocin (STZ) or a high fat diet (HFD) and administered NR or NMN for two months. Both the STZ and HFD mice developed neuropathy, which was reversed through the NR or NMN administration: sensory function improved, nerve conduction velocities normalized, and intraepidermal nerve fibers were restored. The NAD+ levels and SIRT1 activity were reduced in the DRGs from diabetic mice but were preserved with the NR or NMN treatment. We also tested the effect of NR or NMN administration in mice that overexpress the SIRT1 protein in neurons (nSIRT1 OE) and found no additional benefit from the addition of the drug. These findings suggest that supplementing with NAD+ precursors or activating SIRT1 may be a promising treatment for DPN.

Abstract
Background Muscle dysfunction is an early complication of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). As a convenient and low-cost tool, muscle ultrasound has been used to assess muscle quality and muscle mass. However, the relationship between different muscle ultrasound parameters and DPN is unclear. Objectives This study was designed to investigate the relationship between ultrasound parameters of different muscles and DPN among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, including the rectus femoris (RF), tibialis anterior (TA), and medial head of gastrocnemius (MG). Materials and Methods The research enrolled 90 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). All images were attained from both sides. Muscle measurements contained muscle thickness (MT), cross-sectional area (CSA), echo intensity (EI), and corrected EI. The binary logistic regression and multiple linear regression were used to investigate the association between muscle ultrasound parameters and DPN or vibration perception threshold (VPT). Results EI, corrected EI, MT of MG, and EI of TA were associated with DPN separately after adjusting other clinical variates. Among these muscle parameters, the EI of MG had a better predictive value (OR: 1.114, 95% CI: 1.039, 1.196) of DPN. Combined with CSA of RF, peripheral artery disease (PAD), and sex, the corrected EI of MG was associated with the vibration perception threshold (VPT) (standard β = 0.242, p < 0.001), better than the EI of MG (standard β = 0.215, p = 0.002). Conclusions MG (MT, EI, and corrected EI) and TA (EI) were associated with DPN, respectively. CSA of RF and corrected EI or EI of MG combined with PAD and sex were associated with VPT significantly, which supported that muscle ultrasound might be a substantial quantitative tool for detecting the exercise benefits for DPN.

Abstract
Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a serious and very common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). It negatively affects the quality of life, increases morbidity and poses a financial burden on the health care system. Currently, treatment of PDN focuses on glycaemic control, while pathogenesis-oriented therapy has not yielded satisfactory results. The need to improve therapy remains. There is accumulating evidence on the potential benefit of nutritional interventions. This narrative review aims to examine the potential benefit of dietary and nutritional supplementation for PDN management. According to the preliminary research, supplementation with vitamin E, B-complex, omega-3 fatty acids, CoQ10 or N-acetylcysteine seems to be associated with promising results in improving PDN symptoms.

Abstract
Diabetes prevalence continues to climb with the aging population. Type 2 diabetes (T2D), which constitutes most cases, is metabolically acquired. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), the most common microvascular complication, is length-dependent damage to peripheral nerves. DPN pathogenesis is complex, but, at its core, it can be viewed as a state of impaired metabolism and bioenergetics failure operating against the backdrop of long peripheral nerve axons supported by glia. This unique peripheral nerve anatomy and the injury consequent to T2D underpins the distal-to-proximal symptomatology of DPN. Earlier work focused on the impact of hyperglycemia on nerve damage and bioenergetics failure, but recent evidence additionally implicates contributions from obesity and dyslipidemia. This review will cover peripheral nerve anatomy, bioenergetics, and glia-axon interactions, building the framework for understanding how hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia induce bioenergetics failure in DPN. DPN and painful DPN still lack disease-modifying therapies, and research on novel mechanism-based approaches is also covered.

Dietary interventions improve diabetic kidney disease, but not peripheral neuropathy, in a db/db mouse model of type 2 diabetes. FASEB J 2023; 37:e23115.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes often develop the microvascular complications of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), which decrease quality of life and increase mortality. Unfortunately, treatment options for DKD and DPN are limited. Lifestyle interventions, such as changes to diet, have been proposed as non-pharmacological treatment options for preventing or improving DKD and DPN. However, there are no reported studies simultaneously evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of varying dietary interventions in a type 2 diabetes mouse model of both DKD and DPN. Therefore, we compared the efficacy of a 12-week regimen of three dietary interventions, low carbohydrate, caloric restriction, and alternate day fasting, for preventing complications in a db/db type 2 diabetes mouse model by performing metabolic, DKD, and DPN phenotyping. All three dietary interventions promoted weight loss, ameliorated glycemic status, and improved DKD, but did not impact percent fat mass and DPN. Multiple regression analysis identified a negative correlation between fat mass and motor nerve conduction velocity. Collectively, our data indicate that these three dietary interventions improved weight and glycemic status and alleviated DKD but not DPN. Moreover, diets that decrease fat mass may be a promising non-pharmacological approach to improve DPN in type 2 diabetes given the negative correlation between fat mass and motor nerve conduction velocity.

Abstract
Objective The effect of passive smoking exposure on the risk of type 2 diabetes has not been systematically studied. A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association between passive smoking exposure and the risk of diabetes. Methods We searched three major databases up to 31 October 2022 to identify relevant prospective cohort studies on the association between passive smoking and the risk of type 2 diabetes. The pooled relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between passive smoking exposure and the risk of type 2 diabetes were analyzed using a fixed-effect model. Results Ten prospective cohort studies were included in this meta-analysis, with a total of 251,620 participants involved. The pooled RR showed a significantly positive association between nonsmokers exposed to passive smoking and type 2 diabetes as compared to non-smokers who were not exposed to passive smoking [RR = 1.27; 95% CI (1.19, 1.36); p < 0.001]. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the pooled RR was not substantially affected by any of the individual studies. Conclusion Exposure to passive smoking increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. This study may have a positive effect on the prevention of type 2 diabetes. Systematic review registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42023372532.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a devastating disorder with an increasing prevalence globally. This epidemic can pose a critical burden on individuals and com-munities, 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.

Abstract
Background and aim Current strategies for preventing diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) are limited mainly to glucose control but rapid decrease of glycemia can lead to acute onset or worsening of DSPN. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of periodic fasting on somatosensory nerve function in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Study design and methods Somatosensory nerve function was assessed in thirty-one patients with T2D (HbA1c 7.8 ± 1.3% [61.4 ± 14.3 mmol/mol]) before and after a six-month fasting-mimicking diet (FMD; n=14) or a control Mediterranean diet (M-diet; n=17). Neuropathy disability score (NDS), neuropathy symptoms score (NSS), nerve conduction velocity and quantitative sensory testing (QST) were analyzed. 6 participants of the M-Diet group and 7 of the FMD group underwent diffusion-weighted high-resolution magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) of the right leg before and after the diet intervention. Results Clinical neuropathy scores did not differ between study groups at baseline (64% in the M-Diet group and 47% in the FMD group had DSPN) and no change was found after intervention. The differences in sensory NCV and sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) of sural nerve were comparable between study groups. Motor NCV of tibial nerve decreased by 12% in the M-Diet group (P=0.04), but did not change in the FMD group (P=0.39). Compound motor action potential (CMAP) of tibial nerve did not change in M-Diet group (P=0.8) and increased in the FMD group by 18% (P=0.02). Motor NCV and CMAP of peroneal nerve remained unchanged in both groups. In QST M-diet-group showed a decrease by 45% in heat pain threshold (P=0.02), FMD group showed no change (P=0.50). Changes in thermal detection, mechanical detection and mechanical pain did not differ between groups. MRN analysis showed stable fascicular nerve lesions irrespective of the degree of structural pathology. Fractional anisotropy and T2-time did not change in both study groups, while a correlation with the clinical degree of DSPN could be confirmed for both. Conclusions Our study shows that six-month periodic fasting was safe in preserving nerve function and had no detrimental effects on somatosensory nerve function in T2D patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN), a common complication of diabetes mellitus, is challenging to treat. Efficacy and tolerability of the topical lidocaine 700 mg medicated plaster (LMP) and well-established first-line oral medications (OM) were compared in refractory PDPN patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is a subgroup analysis of a non-interventional, retrospective 24-week cohort study using anonymized routine medical care data from the German Pain eRegistry. Propensity score matching provided 732 datasets per treatment group. Primary effectiveness endpoint was the absolute change in average 24-hour Pain Intensity Index (0-100 mm) from baseline after 4, 12 and 24 weeks of treatment and over the entire treatment period. RESULTS The majority of this multimorbid and polymedicated study population of patients with PDPN had suffered pain for more than a year and presented with a high pain burden despite a median of seven previous analgesic medications. LMP treatment resulted in significant reductions in pain intensity and improvements in daily functioning already after 4 treatment weeks. Effectiveness was maintained over the treatment period even when concomitant analgesics were reduced or discontinued and quality of life improved. Mean change in the primary effectiveness parameter over the 24-week treatment period was -30.2 mm (SE 0.38) and -17.0 mm (SE 0.51) in the LMP and OM groups, respectively. Improvements in all effectiveness parameters were significantly greater under LMP than under OM treatment (p<0.001). Significantly fewer patients under LMP than OM experienced drug-related adverse events (DRAEs; 9.6% vs 61.6%, p<0.001) and discontinued treatment due to DRAEs (4.4% vs 35.8%, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS LMP was effective and well tolerated in routine clinical care of patients with PDPN. The more favorable benefit/risk profile and greater reduction in intake of concomitant analgesics compared with OM suggest LMP as a useful treatment option for PDPN.

Abstract
Distal symmetric diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (DPN) is the most common form of neuropathy in the world, affecting 30 to 50% of diabetic individuals and resulting in significant morbidity and socioeconomic costs. This review summarizes updates in the diagnosis and management of DPN. Recently updated clinical criteria facilitate bedside diagnosis, and a number of new technologies are being explored for diagnostic confirmation in specific settings and for use as surrogate measures in clinical trials. Evolving literature indicates that distinct but overlapping mechanisms underlie neuropathy in type 1 versus type 2 diabetes, and there is a growing focus on the role of metabolic factors in the development and progression of DPN. Exercise-based lifestyle interventions have shown therapeutic promise. A variety of potential disease-modifying and symptomatic therapies are in development. Innovations in clinical trial design include the incorporation of detailed pain phenotyping and biomarkers for central sensitization.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) occurs in up to half of individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. DPN results from the distal-to-proximal loss of peripheral nerve function, leading to physical disability and sometimes pain, with the consequent lowering of quality of life. Early diagnosis improves clinical outcomes, but many patients still develop neuropathy. Hyperglycaemia is a risk factor and glycaemic control prevents DPN development in type 1 diabetes. However, glycaemic control has modest or no benefit in individuals with type 2 diabetes, probably because they usually have comorbidities. Among them, the metabolic syndrome is a major risk factor for DPN. The pathophysiology of DPN is complex, but mechanisms converge on a unifying theme of bioenergetic failure in the peripheral nerves due to their unique anatomy. Current clinical management focuses on controlling diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, and pain, but remains suboptimal for most patients. Thus, research is ongoing to improve early diagnosis and prognosis, to identify molecular mechanisms that could lead to therapeutic targets, and to investigate lifestyle interventions to improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease that endangers human health. In recent years, the phenomenon of obesity has become more and more common, and it has become a global epidemic. Obesity is closely associated with many adverse metabolic changes and diseases, such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, nervous system diseases and some malignant tumors, which have caused a huge burden on the country's medical finance. In most countries of the world, the incidence of cancer caused by obesity is increasing year on year. Diabetes associated with obesity can lead to secondary neuropathy. How to treat obesity and its secondary diseases has become an urgent problem for patients, doctors and society. This article will summarize the multidisciplinary research on obesity and its complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study was aimed at developing a clinical risk score for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. METHODS In a retrospective cross-sectional one-centre study in an unselected population, 115 participants with type 1 diabetes (age 41.1±12.2 years), and 161 with type 2 diabetes (age 63.1±8.9 years), well-characterised for clinical variables, underwent standard cardiovascular reflex tests (CARTs). Strength of associations of confirmed CAN (based on 2 abnormal CARTs) with clinical variables was used to build a CAN risk score. RESULTS CAN risk score was based on resting heart rate, HbA1c, retinopathy, nephropathy, cardiovascular disease in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and on HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and smoking in type 1 diabetes or insulin treatment and physical activity in type 2 diabetes (range 0-10). In type 1 diabetes, CAN risk score showed an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.890±0.034, and at cut-off of 4 sensitivity of 88%, specificity of 74.4%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 95.7% for confirmed CAN. In type 2 diabetes, CAN risk score showed an AUC of 0.830±0.051 and at the cut-off of 4 sensitivity and specificity of 78.6% and 73.5%, respectively, and NPV of 97.3% for confirmed CAN. INTERPRETATION These newly developed CAN risk scores are accessible in clinical practice and, if confirmed in a validation study, they might identify asymptomatic individuals with diabetes at greater risk of CAN to be referred to CARTs, thus limiting the burden of a universal screening.

Abstract
Current evidence supports the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) with neuropathy. Limited data are available on proper strategies to control metabolic disorders and neuropathy among patients with type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to determine hesperidin and diosmin efficacy individually and in combination among T2DM patients with neuropathy and meet MetS criteria. In this parallel-group designed trial, 129 T2DM patients with MetS and neuropathy were recruited and randomized to receive their oral hypoglycemics with either hesperidin (1g/day), or diosmin (1g/day), or combination of both or oral hypoglycemics without intervention for 12 weeks. Diabetic neuropathy was evaluated using Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) at baseline and after trial. Anthropometric parameters, blood glucose and lipid profile were also assessed before and after the intervention using paired student t-test within groups. The trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT05243238. By completion of the trial duration, both hesperidin and diosmin groups showed significant reduction in blood glucose, triglycerides (TGs) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) from baseline (p<0.05). However, the magnitude of improvement in metabolic components significantly increased with hesperidin and diosmin combination. Although MNSI scores improved significantly in both groups, the reduction was more significant with the combination of hesperidin and diosmin. Moreover, the change in MNSI score was significantly correlated with the improvement in metabolic profile components including LDL, TGs and fasting blood glucose. Oral supplementation of hesperidin and diosmin was associated with improvement in metabolic syndrome and diabetic neuropathy and the combination of both was superior in efficacy.

Phys Ther 2022; 102:6652922. [PMID: 35913760 PMCID: PMC7613682 DOI: 10.1093/ptj/pzac104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of neural mobilization (NM) in the management of sensory dysfunction and nerve degeneration related to experimental painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN). METHODS This is a pre-clinical animal study performed in the streptozocin-induced diabetic rat model. Three groups were included: a treatment group of rats with PDN receiving NM under anesthesia (PDN-NM, n = 10), a sham treatment group of rats with PDN that received only anesthesia (PDN-Sham, n = 9), and a vehicle control group with nondiabetic animals (Vehicle, n = 10). Rats in the PDN-NM and PDN-Sham groups received 1 treatment session on days 10, 12, and 14 after streptozocin injection, with a 48-hour rest period between sessions. Behavioral tests were performed using von Frey and Plantar tests. Evaluation for peripheral nerve degeneration was performed through measuring protein gene product 9.5-positive intra-epidermal nerve fiber density in hind-paw skin biopsies. All measurements were performed by a blinded investigator. RESULTS The behavioral tests showed that a single NM session could reduce hyperalgesia, which was maintained for 48 hours. The second treatment session further improved this treatment effect, and the third session maintained it. These results suggest that it requires multiple treatment sessions to produce and maintain hypoalgesic effects. Skin biopsy analysis showed that the protein gene product 9.5-positive intra-epidermal nerve fiber density was higher on the experimental side of the PDN-NM group compared with the PDN-Sham group, suggesting NM may mitigate the degeneration of peripheral nerves. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that NM may be an effective method to manage experimentally induced PDN, potentially through mitigation of nerve degeneration. Further studies are needed to develop standardized protocols for clinical use. IMPACT These findings provide neurophysiological evidence for the use of NM in PDN and can form the basis for the development of physical therapy-based programs in clinics.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve disorders are caused by a range of different aetiologies. The range of causes include metabolic conditions such as diabetes, obesity and chronic kidney disease. Diabetic neuropathy may be associated with severe weakness and the loss of sensation, leading to gangrene and amputation in advanced cases. Recent studies have indicated a high prevalence of neuropathy in patients with chronic kidney disease, also known as uraemic neuropathy. Immune-mediated neuropathies including Guillain-Barré syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy may cause significant physical disability. As survival rates continue to improve in cancer, the prevalence of treatment complications, such as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, has also increased in treated patients and survivors. Notably, peripheral neuropathy associated with these conditions may be chronic and long-lasting, drastically affecting the quality of life of affected individuals, and leading to a large socioeconomic burden. This review article explores some of the major emerging clinical and experimental therapeutic agents that have been investigated for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy due to metabolic, toxic and immune aetiologies.

Abstract
Axon degeneration in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is associated with impaired NAD+ metabolism. We tested whether the administration of NAD+ precursors, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) or nicotinamide riboside (NR), prevents DPN in models of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. NMN was administered to streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and STZ-induced diabetic mice by intraperitoneal injection at 50 or 100 mg/kg on alternate days for 2 months. mice The were fed with a high fat diet (HFD) for 2 months with or without added NR at 150 or 300 mg/kg for 2 months. The administration of NMN to STZ-induced diabetic rats or mice or dietary addition of NR to HFD-fed mice improved sensory function, normalized sciatic and tail nerve conduction velocities, and prevented loss of intraepidermal nerve fibers in skin samples from the hind-paw. In adult dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons isolated from HFD-fed mice, there was a decrease in NAD+ levels and mitochondrial maximum reserve capacity. These impairments were normalized in isolated DRG neurons from NR-treated mice. The results indicate that the correction of NAD+ depletion in DRG may be sufficient to prevent DPN but does not significantly affect glucose tolerance, insulin levels, or insulin resistance.

Association between Dietary Inflammatory Index Scores and Diabetes Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Case-Control Study. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2661649. [PMID: 35497930 PMCID: PMC9050281 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2661649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Background Diabetes sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) is a common complication of diabetes. Diet has been previously related to DSPN. However, no studies have investigated the relationship between the inflammatory potential of the whole diet and DSPN. So, we aimed to examine the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and DSPN in Iranian adults. Methods A total of 185 subjects with DSPN and 185 sex- and age-matched controls were selected in this case-control study. A 168-item validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assay dietary intakes. DII was calculated based on the developed formula. The Toronto clinical neuropathy score was applied to define DSPN. Binary logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of DII in relation to DSPN. Results Mean values of age and BMI for all the participants were reported as 50.79 and 28.60, respectively. Also, the median (IQR) of DII for all the participants was estimated as −0.091 (−0.93, 1.07). Our findings suggest that participants in the highest quartile of the DII had higher odds of DSPN (OR = 1.76; 95% CI: 1.03, 3.36) (p-trend = 0.01) compared to subjects in the lowest quartile of DII scores after adjustment for age and sex. Additionally, a strong association was observed after adjusting for energy intake, physical activity, education, smoking status, economic status, marital status, job, BMI, and WC in model 2 (OR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.13–4.39) (p-trend = 0.0048). Conclusion Higher DII score was associated with an increased risk of DSPN. Therefore, it is possible that a diet rich in anti-inflammatory nutrients and foods could improve and prevent DSPN.

Abstract
AIM Physical activity (PA) is recommended to improve glycemic control in T1D; however, the effect of PA on distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) and cardiac autonomic function in longstanding T1D is unknown. METHODS Data from 75 participants were collected as part of the Canadian Study of Longevity in T1D. Participants completed a physical exam, medical history, extensive complications phenotyping and reported their daily PA from the preceding 12-months. Pearson and Spearman correlations were used to assess PA time and complications variables. Linear regression was used to test associations between PA time, neurological and electrophysiological measures. Univariable regression was used to indicate the change in the given independent variables associated with a 30-min increase in PA per week. RESULTS Participants were 66 ± 8 years old with diabetes duration of 54 [52,58] years, HbA1c was 7.3 ± 0.8, 65(89%) had DSPN. Weekly PA time was 156 ± 132 min, and 35(47%) reported ≧150 min/week. Participants with DSPN reported lower PA time compared to individuals without DSPN (141 ± 124 min/week vs. 258 ± 129 min/week; p = 0.015). PA time was associated with better cooling detection threshold (r = 0.24; p = 0.043), peroneal and sural amplitude (r = 0.36; p = 0.0017, rs = 0.26; p = 0.024) and conduction velocity (rs = 0.28; p = 0.015, r = 0.23; p = 0.050). Linear regression adjusting for age and HbA1c, showed that for each 30-min of PA there was a 0.09mv higher peroneal amplitude (p = 0.032) and 0.048 ms lower peroneal F-wave latency (p = 0.022). CONCLUSION In longstanding T1D, PA time is associated with superior large nerve fibre function in the lower limbs and some better measures of small nerve fibre function.

Abstract
Diabetes distal symmetrical peripheral neuropathy (DSPN) is the most prevalent form of neuropathy in industrialized countries, substantially increasing risk for morbidity and pre-mature mortality. DSPN may manifest with small-fiber disease, large-fiber disease, or a combination of both. This review summarizes: (1) DSPN subtypes (small- and large-fiber disease) with attention to clinical signs and patient symptoms; and (2) technological diagnosis and screening for large- and small-fiber disease with inclusion of a comprehensive literature review of published studies from 2015-present (N = 66). Review findings, informed by the most up-to-date research, advance critical understanding of DSPN large- and small-fiber screening technologies, including those designed for point-of-care use in primary care and endocrinology practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the epidemiological characteristics and predictors of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS The study was designed as a retrospective cohort trial at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. From January 2017 to December 2020, a total of 1,262 patients with DM were enrolled to assess the risk factors for DPN. The patients were divided into two groups (DPN group and non-DPN group). The Mann-Whitney U test or t-test, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, univariate chi-square analyses, and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the adjusted predictors of DPN. RESULTS The overall prevalence of DPN in DM patients was 72.7% (n = 793/1,091). Multivariate analysis revealed that age > 66 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.647; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.469-4.770; p = 0.002), history of hypertension (OR, 1.829; 95% CI 1.146-2.920; p = 0.011), neutrophil (NE) levels exceeding 4.0 × 109/L (OR 0.256; 95% CI 0.162-0.405; p = 0.001), lymphocyte (LY) levels over 3.0 × 109/L (OR 7.173; 95% CI 4.258-12.086; p = 0.000), HbA1c > 7.7% (OR 3.151; 95% CI 1.959-5.068; p = 0.000), and FT3 > 4.4 pmol/L (OR 0.417; 95% CI 0.263-0.662; p = 0.000) were six significant predictive factors for the prevalence of DPN. CONCLUSIONS High levels of LY, HbA1c, history of hypertension, and > 66 years of age increase the risk of DPN in adult patients with DM, while high levels of NE and FT3 were protective factors of DPN. Thus, the prediction of DPN can significantly be improved by identifying older patients over the age of 66 and history of hypertension, as well as establishing the biochemical cutoff values of NE, LY, HbA1c, and FT3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral neuropathy is among the most common complications of diabetes, but a phenotypically identical distal sensory predominant, painful axonopathy afflicts patients with prediabetic metabolic syndrome, exemplifying a spectrum of risk and continuity of pathogenesis. No pharmacological treatment convincingly improves neuropathy in the setting of metabolic syndrome, but evolving data suggest that exercise may be a promising alternative. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to review in depth the current literature regarding exercise treatment of metabolic syndrome neuropathy in humans and animal models, highlight the diverse mechanisms by which exercise exerts beneficial effects, and examine adherence limitations, safety aspects, modes and dose of exercise. RESULTS Rodent models that recapitulate the organismal milieu of prediabetic metabolic syndrome and the phenotype of its neuropathy provide a strong platform to dissect exercise effects on neuropathy pathogenesis. In these models, exercise reverses hyperglycemia and consequent oxidative and nitrosative stress, improves microvascular vasoreactivity, enhances axonal transport, ameliorates the lipotoxicity and inflammatory effects of hyperlipidemia and obesity, supports neuronal survival and regeneration following injury, and enhances mitochondrial bioenergetics at the distal axon. Prospective human studies are limited in scale but suggest exercise to improve cutaneous nerve regenerative capacity, neuropathic pain, and task-specific functional performance measures of gait and balance. Like other heath behavioral interventions, the benefits of exercise are limited by patient adherence. CONCLUSION Exercise is an integrative therapy that potently reduces cellular inflammatory state and improves distal axonal oxidative metabolism to ameliorate features of neuropathy in metabolic syndrome. The intensity of exercise need not improve cardinal features of metabolic syndrome, including weight, glucose control, to exert beneficial effects.

Abstract
AIMS To develop and validate a nomogram prediction model for the risk of diabetic foot in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and evaluate its clinical application value. METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical data from 1,950 patients with T2DM from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between January 2012 and June 2021. The patients were divided into training cohort and validation cohort according to the random number table method at a ratio of 7:3. The independent risk factors for diabetic foot among patients with T2DM were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Then, a nomogram prediction model was developed using the independent risk factors. The model performances were evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration plot, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and the decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol (TC), smoke, and drink were independent risk factors for diabetic foot among patients with T2DM (P < 0.05). The AUCs of training cohort and validation cohort were 0.806 (95% CI: 0.775∼0.837) and 0.857 (95% CI: 0.814∼0.899), respectively, suggesting good discrimination of the model. Calibration curves of training cohort and validation cohort showed a favorable consistency between the predicted probability and the actual probability. In addition, the P values of Hosmer-Lemeshow test for training cohort and validation cohort were 0.826 and 0.480, respectively, suggesting a high calibration of the model. When the threshold probability was set as 11.6% in the DCA curve, the clinical net benefits of training cohort and validation cohort were 58% and 65%, respectively, indicating good clinical usefulness of the model. CONCLUSION We developed and validated a user-friendly nomogram prediction model for the risk of diabetic foot in patients with T2DM. Nomograms may help clinicians early screen and identify patients at high risk of diabetic foot.

Abstract
Distal symmetric diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (DPN) is the most common form of neuropathy in the world, affecting 30 to 50% of diabetic individuals and resulting in significant morbidity and socioeconomic costs. This review summarizes updates in the diagnosis and management of DPN. Recently updated clinical criteria facilitate bedside diagnosis, and a number of new technologies are being explored for diagnostic confirmation in specific settings and for use as surrogate measures in clinical trials. Evolving literature indicates that distinct but overlapping mechanisms underlie neuropathy in type 1 versus type 2 diabetes, and there is a growing focus on the role of metabolic factors in the development and progression of DPN. Exercise-based lifestyle interventions have shown therapeutic promise. A variety of potential disease-modifying and symptomatic therapies are in development. Innovations in clinical trial design include the incorporation of detailed pain phenotyping and biomarkers for central sensitization.

Abstract
The study aims to investigate the literature on the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiac autonomic function in individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and lifestyle disorders. We performed electronic database search from CENTRAL, WoS, Scopus, Pubmed, and PEDro up to 25th February 2021. Randomised control trials/quasi-experimental trials/cross-over trials that assessed the effects of HIIT with control/alternative treatment on cardiac autonomic control were included in this review. A total of 11 studies were included for qualitative analysis and among them, 8 were quantitatively analysed. A random-effect model of standardised mean difference (SMD) and mean difference of the respective outcome measures for cardiac autonomic control was determined. The findings of the qualitative analysis revealed the beneficial effects of HIIT on cardiac autonomic modulation. However, the majority of the studies had an unclear or high risk of bias for randomisation, concealment methods, and blinding of participants to the intervention that could have influenced the interpretation of the findings. The SMD revealed a significant effect of HIIT on standard deviation of N-N intervals (SDNN) (ms) [SMD: 0.40, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.001 to 0.80, P=0.05], high frequency power (HF) (ms2) [0.46, 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.76, P=0.002], and ratio of low and high frequency power, (LF/HF) [-0.80, 95% CI: -1.27 to -0.33, P=0.0008]. In conclusion, HIIT may effectively modulate cardiac autonomic function by increasing parasympathetic dominance, sympathetic withdrawal, and sympathovagal balance in individuals with CVD and lifestyle disorders. The study has a PROSPERO registration number: CRD42021231225

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Lifestyle interventions such as exercise prescription and education may play a role in the management of peripheral neuropathy in people with diabetes. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of undertaking an exercise program in comparison with an education program on the signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in people with diabetes at risk of neuropathic foot ulceration. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four adult participants with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy were enrolled in this parallel-group, assessor blinded, randomised clinical trial. Participants were randomly allocated to one of two 8-week lifestyle interventions, exercise or education. The primary outcome measures were the two-part Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) and vibratory perception threshold (VPT). Secondary outcome measures included aerobic fitness, balance and lower limb muscular endurance. Results: Participants in both lifestyle interventions significantly improved over time for MNSI clinical signs (MD: −1.04, 95% CI: −1.68 to −0.40), MNSI symptoms (MD: −1.11, 95% CI: −1.89 to −0.33) and VPT (MD: −4.22, 95% CI: −8.04 to −0.40). Although the interaction effects did not reach significance, changes in values from pre to post intervention favoured exercise in comparison to control for MNSI clinical signs (MD −0.42, 95% CI −1.72 to 0.90), MNSI clinical symptoms (MD −0.38, 95% CI −1.96 to 1.2) and VPT (MD −4.22, 95% CI −12.09 to 3.65). Conclusions: Eight weeks of exercise training or lifestyle education can improve neuropathic signs and symptoms in people with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy. These findings support a role for lifestyle interventions in the management of peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dietary weight loss on neuropathy outcomes in people with severe obesity. METHODS A prospective cohort study of participants attending a medical weight-management program was followed. Weight loss was achieved with meal replacement of 800 kcal/d for 12 weeks and then transitioning to 1,200 to 1,500 kcal/d. The coprimary outcomes were changes in intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) at the distal leg and proximal thigh. Secondary outcomes included nerve conduction studies, Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument questionnaire and exam, Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders, and quantitative sensory testing. RESULTS Among 131 baseline participants, 72 (mean [SD] age: 50.1 [10.5] years, 51.4% female) completed 2 years of follow-up. Participants lost 12.4 (11.8) kg. All metabolic syndrome components improved with the exception of blood pressure. IENFD in the distal leg (0.4 [3.3], p = 0.29), and proximal thigh (0.3 [6.3], p = 0.74) did not significantly change. Improvements were observed on the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument questionnaire, two Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders subdomains, and quantitative sensory testing cold threshold. CONCLUSIONS Dietary weight loss was associated with improvements in all metabolic parameters except blood pressure, and both IENFD outcomes remained stable after 2 years. Given that natural history studies reveal decreases in IENFD over time, dietary weight loss may halt this progression, but randomized controlled trials are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes-related foot disease is a large cause of the global disease burden yet receives very little research funding to address this large burden. To help address this gap, it is recommended to first identify the consensus priority research questions of relevant stakeholders, yet this has not been performed for diabetes-related foot disease. The aim of this study was to determine the national top 10 priority research questions for diabetes-related foot health and disease from relevant Australian stakeholders. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A modified three-round Delphi online survey design was used to seek opinions from relevant Australian stakeholders including those with diabetes or diabetes-related foot disease or their carers (consumers), health professionals, researchers and industry. Participants were recruited via multiple public invitations and invited to propose three research questions of most importance to them (Round 1), prioritize their 10 most important questions from all proposed questions (Round 2), and then rank questions in order of importance (Round 3). RESULTS After Round 1, a total of 226 unique questions were proposed by 210 participants (including 121 health professionals and 72 consumers). Of those participants, 95 completed Round 2 and 69 completed Round 3. The top 10 priority research questions covered a range of topics, including health economics, peripheral neuropathy, education, infection, technology, exercise, and nutrition. Consumers prioritized peripheral neuropathy and prevention-related questions. Health professionals prioritized management-related questions including Australia's First Peoples foot health, health economics and infection questions. CONCLUSIONS These priority research questions should guide future national research agendas, funding and projects to improve diabetes-related foot disease burdens in Australia and globally. Future research should focus on consumer priority research questions to improve the burden of diabetes-related foot disease on patients and nations. Further research should also investigate reasons for different priorities between consumers and health professionals.

Abstract
To discuss and provide evidence-based data on dietary supplements as part of treating diabetic neuropathy RECENT FINDINGS: Few randomized controlled trials are available, but some have shown beneficial efficacy of various dietary supplements on objective primary endpoints including nerve conduction velocities and axon potentials as well as subjective patient-reported outcomes. No medical cure for diabetic neuropathy exists, and prevention is therefore crucial. Tight glucose control slows the progression of nerve damage in diabetes, but an unmet clinical need for effective interventions is warranted. Consequently, a growing number of patients turn to dietary supplements proposed to possess neuroprotective properties. However, the postulated effects are often not evidence-based as they have not been tested scientifically. Taken together, this review will focus on dietary supplements investigated in clinical trials for their potential capabilities in targeting the molecular mechanisms involved in the underlying pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy is an incapacitating chronic pathological condition that encompasses a large group of diseases and manifestations of nerve damage. It affects approximately 50% of patients with diabetes mellitus. Autonomic, sensory, and motor neurons are affected. Disabilities are severe, along with poor recovery and diverse pathophysiology. Physical exercise and herbal-based therapies have the potential to decrease the disabilities associated with diabetic neuropathy. Aerobic exercises like walking, weight lifting, the use of nutraceuticals and herbal extracts are found to be effective. Literature from the public domain was studied emphasizing various beneficial effects of different exercises, use of herbal and nutraceuticals for their therapeutic action in diabetic neuropathy. Routine exercises and administration of herbal and nutraceuticals, either the extract of plant material containing the active phytoconstituent or isolated phytoconstituent at safe concentration, have been shown to have promising positive action in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Exercise has shown promising effects on vascular and neuronal health and has proven to be well effective in the treatment as well as prevention of diabetic neuropathy by various novel mechanisms, including herbal and nutraceuticals therapy is also beneficial for the condition. They primarily show the anti-oxidant effect, secretagogue, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective action. Severe adverse events are rare with these therapies. The current review investigates the benefits of exercise and nutraceutical therapies in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
Pediatric neuropathy attributed to metabolic dysfunction is a well-known complication in children and youth with type 1 diabetes. Moreover, the rise of obesity and in particular of type 2 diabetes may cause an uptick in pediatric neuropathy incidence. However, despite the anticipated increase in neuropathy incidence, pathogenic insights and strategies to prevent or manage neuropathy in the setting of diabetes and obesity in children and youth remain unknown. Data from adult studies and available youth cohort studies are providing an initial understanding of potential diagnostic, management, and preventative measures in early life. This review discusses the current state of knowledge emanating from these efforts, with particular emphasis on the prevalence, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches and considerations, and risk factors of neuropathy in type 1 and type 2 diabetes in children and youth. Also highlighted are current management strategies and recommendations for neuropathy in children and youth with diabetes. This knowledge, along with continued and sustained emphasis on identifying and eliminating modifiable risk factors, completing randomized controlled trials to assess effectiveness of strategies like weight loss and exercise, and enhancing awareness to support early detection and prevention, are pertinent to addressing the rising incidence of neuropathy associated with diabetes and obesity in children and youth.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is the most prevalent chronic complication of diabetes mellitus. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms of DN are unclear; however, communication network dysfunction among axons, Schwann cells, and the microvascular endothelium likely play an important role in the development of DN. Mounting evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) act as messengers that facilitate intercellular communication and may contribute to the pathogenesis of DN. Deregulation of miRNAs is among the initial molecular alterations observed in diabetics. As such, miRNAs hold promise as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. In preclinical studies, miRNA-based treatment of DN has shown evidence of therapeutic potential. But this therapy has been hampered by miRNA instability, targeting specificity, and potential toxicities. Recent findings reveal that when packaged within extracellular vesicles, miRNAs are resistant to degradation, and their delivery efficiency and therapeutic potential is markedly enhanced. Here, we review the latest research progress on the roles of miRNAs as biomarkers and as potential clinical therapeutic targets in DN. We also discuss the promise of exosomal miRNAs as therapeutics and provide recommendations for future research on miRNA-based medicine.

Abstract
Although there is considerably more data showing an association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and autonomic neuropathy, accumulating evidence indicates that cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is common in persons with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Furthermore, CAN may occur early after a metabolic insult and obesity, especially among mean, and seems to play an important role in the early pathogenesis of CAN. Autonomic symptoms are common in subjects with IGT. In addition to defects in CAN, in subjects with IGT, there is impaired sudomotor function and abnormalities of endothelial peripheral vasoreactivity. At the present time, the only interventions that may be effective in preventing or reversing IGT associated autonomic neuropathy are lifestyle improvement. These include a tailored diet and exercise program. Other approaches that may be beneficial include modulation of oxidative stress and improvement of metabolic regulation in subjects with IGT. Interventions are most likely to be effective early in the course of disease and therefore it is extremely important to have early diagnosis of IGT and autonomic neuropathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize recent advancements in our understanding of the impact of dyslipidemia on microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes (T2D), with an emphasis on peripheral neuropathy and nephropathy. RECENT FINDINGS Mounting evidence suggests that rigorous glycemic control only mitigates certain microvascular complications in T2D patients. Particularly, well regulated blood glucose levels only marginally improve peripheral neuropathy in the T2D setting. Dyslipidemia, an abnormal lipid profile, is emerging as a key factor in peripheral neuropathy. Furthermore, although glycemic control may prevent or slow nephropathy, recent developments demonstrate that dyslipidemia can also affect kidney outcomes in normoglycemic patients. Transcriptomic, epigenomic, and lipidomic investigations, as well as integrative approaches, are shedding light on potential pathomechanisms. These molecular studies are identifying possible targets for therapeutic intervention. Complementing molecular research, lifestyle interventions are on-going to assess whether dietary choices and/or exercise, weight-loss, or surgical interventions, such as bariatric surgery, can ameliorate peripheral neuropathy and nephropathy in T2D patients. SUMMARY Dyslipidemia is an emerging mechanism in microvascular complications in T2D. Elucidating the molecular pathomechanisms may pinpoint potential lipid-centric treatments. Interventional studies of dietary changes, exercise, or weight-loss surgery may also positively impact these highly prevalent and morbid complications.

Abstract
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a major complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM and T2DM). The increased morbidity, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality associated with CAN is established from numerous epidemiological studies. However, CAN is increasingly recognised in people with prediabetes (pre-DM) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) with a reported prevalence up to 11% and 24% respectively. CAN is associated with components of MetS including hypertension and obesity, predating hyperglycaemia. The aetiology of CAN is multifactorial and there is a reciprocal relationship with insulin resistance and MetS. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is also associated with CAN possibly through MetS and an independent mechanism. An estimated global prevalence of the impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) form of pre-DM of 587 million people by 2045 means CAN will become a major clinical problem. CAN is independently associated with silent myocardial ischaemia, major cardiovascular events, myocardial dysfunction and cardiovascular mortality. Screening for CAN in pre-DM using risk scores with analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) or Sudoscan is important to allow earlier treatment at a reversible stage. The link between obesity and CAN highlights the therapeutic potential of lifestyle interventions including diet and physical activity to reverse MetS and prevent CAN. Weight loss achieved using these dietary and exercise lifestyle interventions improves the sympathetic and parasympathetic HRV indices of cardiac autonomic function. Further research is needed to identify high-risk populations of people with pre-DM or obesity that might benefit from targeted pharmacotherapy including metformin, sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogues. Bariatric surgery also improves HRV through weight loss which might also prevent CAN in severe obesity. This article reviews the literature on CAN in obesity, pre-DM and MetS, to help determine a rationale for screening, early intervention treatment and formulate future research questions in this highly prevalent condition.
