Risk determinants of peripheral neuropathy in patients with type II diabetes mellitus attending follow-up clinics at University Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Center (UKMMC): a cross sectional study

Peripheral neuropathy is highly associated with foot complications among diabetics. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with the development of peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients and their association with degree of severity of peripheral neuropathy. A cross-sectional stu...
