What is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus?

A: The most common complication of DM is symptomatic peripheral neuropathy.
It becomes more prevalent as the disease progresses, with a reported occurrence
between 10.7% and 62%. Patients with the condition complain of foot or leg pain
that is burning, tingling, lancinating, formicating, aching, or tearing. These
symptoms can occur without abnormal neurologic signs, such as diminished
vibration perception or decreased nerve conduction velocity.
