Core Tip	The cause of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) has remained elusive. Comorbid conditions may contribute to the severity of DPN. We studied patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes and concurrent DPN in order to identify potential comorbid conditions associated with greater neuropathic deficit. Concurrent lipidemia was associated with worse DPN in either type 1 or 2 diabetes. A concurrent vitamin B12 deficiency increased severity of DPN in type 2 diabetes. Although our results were potentially confounded by higher HbA1C values in patients with comorbid conditions, vigilance should occur for other causes of PN when diabetes is present.
