History, physical and neurological examination findings were recorded on pre structured and pre‐designed profroma. Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus with the duration of disease being at least 5 years were included in the study and were assessed for eligibility. Majority (84.6%) of demyelinating neuropathy was observed in patients with 5‐9 years’ of disease duration and 100% of motor axonal neuropathy was observed in patients with disease duration of 5‐9 years.
