Summary
Studying the Danish arm of the ADDITION study of people with screen-detected type 2 diabetes during 13 years showed a markedly lower prevalence and incidence of diabetic neuropathy than seen in previous population-studies of type 2 diabetes. Hyperglycaemia and obesity were confirmed as important risk factors for diabetic neuropathy.
