Relationships Between Type 2 Diabetes, Neuropathy, and Microvascular Dysfunction: Evidence From Patients With Cryptogenic Axonal Polyneuropathy.

This study investigated whether the relationship between neuropathy and microvascular dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes is independent of diabetes-related factors. For this purpose, we compared skin microvascular function in patients with type 2 diabetes with that of patients with cryptogenic axonal polyneuropathy (CAP), a polyneuropathy of unknown etiology.
