Although there is a reasonable literature on the prevalence of
diabetic peripheral neuropathy in some of the SEA countries there are no published data from Bhutan, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Maldives, Myanmar, and Timor-Leste.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus with potential grave clinical consequences such as pain, loss of sensation, foot ulcers, and gangrene, which may result in amputations.
in their paper "Perspectives on Peripheral Neuropathy as a Consequence of Metformin-Induced Vitamin B12 Deficiency in T2DM" have summarised all contemporary results of the available and rather conflicting evidence on the relationship between vitamin B12 deficiency, the potential contribution of metformin therapy, and the development of
diabetic peripheral neuropathy. There is a lot to appreciate, but, as the authors rightly point out, there is also a need for more appropriate design of further trials.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) affects approximately 50% of patients with long-standing type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common debilitating microvascular complication of diabetics, particularly affecting 48.1 to 49.3% of individuals with both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) [1, 2].

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is defined as peripheral, somatic or autonomic nerve damage attributable solely to DM, and the most common one is distal symmetric polyneuropathy.
While the specific focus of this article is on neuropathic ulcer development as a consequence of
diabetic peripheral neuropathy, it is important to note diabetes poses risks other than neuropathy that contribute to ulcer formation (American Diabetes Association [ADA], 2003).
