Excerpt

To the Editor: There exists an urgent need to better characterise and identify the presence of early-stage diabetic neuropathy when therapy is most likely to be effective. The lack of an objective endpoint for early neuropathy has seriously hindered the evaluation of disease-modifying therapies in clinical research and the prediction of neuropathy progression in clinical care [1, 2]. There is considerable evidence that injury to small, thinly myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibres precedes injury to large myelinated fibres in individuals with diabetic neuropathy [3]. …
