**6. Conclusion**

Peripheral and autonomic neuropathy is a common complication of type 1 diabetes with significant morbidity and mortality. Fortunately, aggressive hyperglycemia control can delay the onset and minimize the severity of neuropathy in this population. The patho‐ physiology of neuropathy is complex and likely involves multiple mechanisms, which may be the reason for lack of efficacious treatments beyond glucose control. Early recognition of peripheral and autonomic neuropathy is also important to decrease amputation risk and mortality.
