Abstract
The presentations of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) overlap with those of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). We described a young girl with CIDP underlying type 2 diabetes mellitus, presenting with progressive numbness and limb weakness, who was initially misdiagnosed to have DPN. Finally immunosuppressive therapy got good response.
