Symptoms And Signs

Diabetes has been one of the crucial diseases worldwide, which has to be controlled adequately for long years. It has three diabetic complications of micro-angiopathy such as neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy. Among them, Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathies (DPNs) are most prevalent to manage in primary care setting. In this article, recent topics concerning DPNs are introduced [1]. DPNs have a variety of symptoms and signs, then DPNs are often described in plural forms [2]. DPNs are classified into two categories, which are local and general. The former includes mononeuropathy and multifocal neuropathy. The latter includes diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and others. DPN has Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy (DSPN) and Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy (DAN) [2]. For examples, DSPN shows bilateral numbness of extremities and DAN shows Orthostatic Hypotension (OH).

Common Presentation

Orthostatic hypotension is a common presentation in the primary care setting. Concise management is important as it can lead to falls, particularly in the elderly and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Its management presents as a challenge as there are differing guidelines on managing these patients. This case report illustrates two cases of drug-related orthostatic hypotension with similar presentation, however both were managed differently.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 04 October’19 Page : 241-244
