Background: The most prevalent consequence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is Peripheral Neuropathy (PN), which is frequently undiagnosed and untreated and consequently leading to physical and emotional damage to an individual. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the proportion of peripheral neuropathy among diabetic patients in tertiary care setting. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study among 403 participants was conducted at the out-patient department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Sir Salimullah Medical College, BIRDEM Hospital for one year of period. Data collection was conducted with a pre tested semi structured questionnaire and were analyzed using the statistical software SPSS 26. Results: Mean age of the respondents was 50.92±10.56 (SD) years with a majority in age group 60-69years (29%). Male and female was observed as equally 51.9% male and 48.1% male. The majority of patients (60.5%) have been living with diabetes for 2-5 years. Significant proportion of the patients (64%) have uncontrolled diabetes, while only 36% have achieved control over their condition. Overall, 48.4% respondents had peripheral neuropathy among diabetic respondents. Among the respondents with peripheral neuropathy, 97(24.1%) respondents had mild NSS, 69(17.1%) had moderate NSS and 29(7.2%) had severe NSS. BMI (25.75±2.65 and 24.81±2.98 kg/m2), HbA1C (8.48±0.78 and 7.98±1.13 %) and triglyceride level (318.79±46.28 vs. 282.52±76.45 mg/dl) were significantly higher among peripheral neuropathy respondents compared to non-neuropathy respondents. Conclusion: The findings have important clinical implications Lifestyle modifications, such as weight management and diet control, may also be essential in preventing or managing peripheral neuropathy. Early detection of intervention to manage pain should be a priority.
