Objective Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic immune-mediated disease. Diabetic
peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is an important microvascular complication of T1DM. One of
the most important risk factors for the development of DPN is poor glycemic control. We
evaluated the prevalence of DPN among T1DM patients and determined the association
between DPN and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level.

Objective
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic immune-mediated disease. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is an important microvascular complication of T1DM. One of the most important risk factors for the development of DPN is poor glycemic control. We evaluated the prevalence of DPN among T1DM patients and determined the association between DPN and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level.
