Treatment of Autonomic Neuropathy: Glucose Management, Blood Pressure, and Lipid Optimization

In people with diabetes, autonomic neuropathy can develop or worsen over time. An evidence-based approach addresses glucose control, weight, blood pressure, and lipid levels to prevent onset or slow progression — and treats autonomic symptoms directly to improve quality of life.

Management targets glucose, weight, blood pressure, and lipid levels — the factors relevant to preventing or delaying neuropathy in type 1 diabetes and slowing progression in type 2 diabetes — alongside systematic assessment and treatment of autonomic symptoms; the full protocol specifies the complete clinical sequence and decision points for each domain.
