Thalamic neuronal and bioenergetic function in painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a dual magnetic resonance spectroscopy study

Abstract Aims/hypothesis The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate three imaging parameters in people with type 2 diabetes to examine the volume, neuronal function and bioenergetic status of the thalamus in painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) compared with...

Pain alleviation in diabetic neuropathy using hybrid closed loop insulin pumps (PAINLESS) – A randomised crossover trial protocol

Introduction Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a common complication of diabetes that leads to significant co-morbidity. Emerging evidence suggests glycaemic variability may be linked to fluctuations in pain intensity. Hybrid closed loop (HCL) systems reduce glycaemic variabil...
