Objective To analyse the risk factors relating to diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN).Methods 214 type 2 DM cases were investigated and the factors relating to DPN were analysed including age 、diabetic duration 、fasting blood glucose(FBG) 、post blood glucose(PBG)、 HbA_1c、blood pressure(BP)、 urinary albumin excretory rate(UAER)and lipid.Results Logistic regresstion analysis showed that UAER and FBG were relatively independent risk factors.Conclusion In many risk factors UAER and FBG are the most important factors of all in developling DPN.
