Core Tip	In this study, we found a diminishment of physical domains more so than mental components from the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), in 48 people with type 1 diabetes and verified diabetic symmetrical peripheral neuropathy when compared to 21 healthy controls. Additionally, this physical diminishment was associated with increases in number of comorbidities and HbA1c. To our knowledge a study of health related quali-ty of life exclusively in people with type 1 diabetes and diabetic symmetrical peripheral neuropathy compared to healthy age-matched controls has not previously been performed, therefore these results are interesting for health care professionals interested in the connection between neuropathy and patient experience.
