Abstract: Not only do misperceptions exist on the cause and management of pDPN among patients and HCPs, but there are additional disparities between the patient and HCP perspectives. These results suggests a need for (1) educational initiatives on pDPN that target patients and HCPs, and (2) initiating improved dialogue between patients and their HCPs for discussing appropriate management of pDPN that is distinct from treatment of the underlying diabetes.
