Objectives: To determine the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and associated risk factors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Study Design: Cross Sectional Study. Setting: Outpatient Department Combined Military Hospital, Abbottabad. Period: From Jan 2017 to May 2017. Material & Methods: A total of 270 patients with T2DM and age greater than 30 were included in the study. Peripheral diabetic neuropathy was assessed by using Neuropathy Symptoms Score (NSS) and Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS). Data was collected by using a self structured questionnaire and analyzed by using SPSS software version 20. Results: Majority (60%) of patients were male; male to female ratio being 1:1.5. Mean age was 62.26±11.38 years and the most frequent age group was 60-69 years (30.37% of patients). Overall prevalence of DPN was 36.7 % (n=99). Gender, age, educational status, duration of diabetes, HbA1c level, hypertension and mode of treatment were found to be significantly associated with DPN.

This literature review was written to present the risk factors of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Literature search was conducted to obtain appropriate articles through the electronic database Medline, Cinahl, Proquest, and Clinical Key with  keywords:  prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, risk factors and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The results obtained 16 articles according to the topic and through a review, it is known that risk factors of  diabetic peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients are old age, male sex, duration of diabetes mellitus, poor glycemic control, retinopathy, nephropathy, and risk factors of cardiovascular diseases such as: obesity, overweight, hypertension,and  dyslipidemia.
