Lipid disorders and diabetic neuropathy

More and more research is linking cholesterol and lipid disorders to the development and management of diabetic neuropathy. Most recently a review in the Journal of the Pheripheral Nervous System (Hyperlipidemia: a new therapeutic target for diabetic neuropathy
Andrea M. Vincent, Lucy M. Hinder, Rodica Pop-Busui, and Eva L. Feldman
Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System; Volume 14 Issue 4, Pages 257 – 267 2009
) discusses how the  separate metabolic imbalances of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, converge  to lead to oxidative stress in the sensory neurons. They concluded that this provides opportunites for novel therapeutic strategies to treat diabetic neuropathy. A 2007 press release from Reuters reported on research that follwed people on statins for 5 years and that this decreased the risk of them developing diabetic neuropathy.
