Join us during Awareness Week as we discuss idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, a type of neuropathy where no clear cause can be found. It affects up to 27% of adults with neuropathy.
In this webinar sponsored by Lilly, we will explore new research that is helping us better understand this condition and leading to new ways to prevent and treat it. We’ll explore possible causes that are often missed, including metabolic health and immune factors. We’ll also explain what “idiopathic” neuropathy means and why it can be hard to find answers. We’ll cover common patient questions and share tips for better communication with your healthcare provider. This presentation will end with a live Q&A.
