Lifestyle and human behavioural changes in the last years have given a substantial rise in the occurrence of diabetes all over the world. Diabetic neuropathy is a persistent complication of diabetes mellitus with serious effects as it progresses and influences systems of the human body. The estimation shows that 371 million people in the age group 20-79 years worldwide suffer from diabetes mellitus, and half are unaware of the treatment. Diabetes mellitus can lead to several serious complications, among which diabetic neuropathy is the most prevalent. Diabetic neuropathy is a loss of sensory function starting distally in the lower extremities and characterised by pain and substantial morbidity. About 50% of people with diabetes develop diabetic neuropathy. This review discusses the classification, epidemiology, pathogenesis, sign and symptoms, causes, current treatment available and parameters for testing. The symptomatic treatment of sensory symptoms includes tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin & epinephrine reuptake inhibitors, gabapentin, pregabalin and opioids. Symptomatic treatment improves the quality of life of patients having diabetes. Diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy on time is important to avoid serious complications, including cardiac arrhythmias and lower limb amputations.
