Proximal diabetic neuropathy
Proximal diabetic neuropathy or lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy, previously termed diabetic amyotrophy, is a diabetic neuropathy (peripheral nerve disease) characterized by painful muscle wasting and weakness. It affects the lower limbs and is typically asymmetric. Proximal diabetic neuropathy typically occurs in aged type 2 diabetic males, though it may occur in younger diabetic patients and women too.
