The following are statistics from various sources about the causes of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy:
This page presents a variety of statistics about Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. The term 'prevalence' of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
