Abstract

Abstract:

Insulin neuritis is an acute neuropathic lesion caused by rapid blood glucose control and a significant decrease in HbA1c in a short term. The pathogenesis of insulin neuritis is very complicated and is still not completely understood. Since clinicians often do not attach great importance to this disease, it is often misdiagnosed. This article discusses the clinical features, mechanism, treatment, and prognosis of insulin neuritis by reviewing the relevant literature to improve the understanding of this disease.

Key words: Diabetes mellitus, Peripheral neuropathy, Insulin neuritis
