Secukinumab is an IgG monoclonal antibody widely used for treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis.

Background: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) occurring in a majority of the affected people. DPN is the key initiating factor for the development of diabetic foot ulceration and the most common cause of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations. Whether chronic hyperglycaemia per se or altered levels of intermediate conventional risk factors in these people are responsible for the increased risk of DPN, is a matter of debate.
