| Abstract | Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder, is currently considered an epidemic, with an estimated 26million Americans and 285million people globally affected as of 2010. The incidence of diabetes is expected to nearly double by 2030. Further, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) projects that current trends forecast as many as 1 in 3Americanadults could have diabetes by 2050 [1,2]. As the incidence and prevalence of diabetes is growing exponentially, related complications are also rising. Specifically, peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common, costly, and disabling complications of diabetes. Development of neuropathy occurs most often in the feet, and includes clinical morbidities of pain, motor dysfunction, and loss of sensation, ulcers, infections, gangrene, and amputation. Historically considered progressive and irreversible, peripheral neuropathy and sensory loss is considered the leading risk factor in the development of ulcers [35]. The magnitude of diabetic complications is staggering, especially progressive diabetic foot neuropathy. Thus, new treatment modalities are needed. |
