Abstract
Introduction and Objective: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a serious complication. Clinical guidelines recommend targeting modifiable risk factors to prevent DPN, but their effectiveness is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of treating modifiable risk factors to prevent DPN in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, Pubmed, Embase, and clinicaltrials.gov databases were searched for RCTs published since 1980 targeting glycemia, lipids, BP, obesity, smoking, lifestyle modification and multifactorial interventions. Two independent reviewers screened identified articles via Covidence. A third reviewer resolved disagreements. Meta-analysis for each intervention type was conducted using a random-effects model with R. Results are reported as ORs with 95% CI, p-values and I2 statistics. Results: We identified 832 articles from our search. After removal of duplicates and studies marked as ineligible through automated tools, 677 studies underwent title-abstract screening. Of these, 640 were deemed negative and 37 positives moved on to full-text screening. Another 9 studies were identified by non-systematic search. These 46 RCTs underwent full-text screening which yielded 12 studies with relevant extractable data. Meta-analysis was conducted for glycemic control: [n=6] (OR = 0.92, 95% CI 0.84: 1.01, p = 0.07, I2=0%); lifestyle: [n=2] (OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.86: 1.13, p = 0.83, I2 = 0%) and multifactorial: [n=2] (OR =0.76, 95% CI 0.62: 0.93, p = 0.01, I2 = 0%). Insufficient high-quality RCTs were identified for lipid-lowering [n = 1], smoking cessation [n = 0], obesity [n = 0] and BP [n = 1] for meta-analysis. Conclusion: We found a reduced risk of DPN from multifactorial RCTs, borderline for glycemic control and no effect from lifestyle modification.

期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
