Prevalence and concomitance of diabetic peripheral sensory neuropathy and lower limb peripheral arterial disease in type II diabetics and its correlation with obesity

T2Ds having 64% neuropathy and 23% vasculopathy had one-third concomitance but lack of association and different predictors for each. Vasculopathy not neuropathy was associated with obesity; visceral more than general; suggesting scope for its rectification. It suggests different progression of these complications, despite some cross-talk between them.
