2011, Diabetes and MetabolismCitation Excerpt :Harris et al. [6] showed that arterial hypertension was significantly associated with PDN. Tall stature has been implicated as a risk factor for neuropathy because of the length-dependent deterioration of nerve fibres [27,28]; however, unlike sensitivity loss, the patient's height was not a significant, independent factor for the occurrence of pain [25]. The role of hyperglycaemia is not clear as regards the painful component of CSDPN [5,6,10,25].
