Brief Summary  
Diabetes Mellitus and its complications have become the most important contemporary and challenging health problem worldwide. It is identified that diabetes is devastating disease that affects every part of the body, associated with both microvascular (retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy) and macrovascular complications (stroke, coronary heart disease and peripheral vascular disease. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most significant microvascular and troublesome complication of diabetes mellitus, leading to great morbidity and mortality, and is imposes a considerable burden on patient’s quality of life and the health care system.
Among diabetic neuropathies, diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the most common form seen in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and it occur 10 times more frequently than other type.
It is triggered by persistent hyperglycaemia which should not be underestimated, because the progress of the disease may lead to foot ulcer, followed by gangrene that may require amputation. The reported prevalence rate of diabetic peripheral neuropathy is 10-25% Unfortunately, current therapies that reduces symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy do not prevent progression of the disease. Therefore, search of safe and effective drugs for its management is quiet necessary. In Unani system of medicine, Asbi a compound formulation, used for the treatment of wajaul asab, may prove useful in this condition but its efficacy has not been evaluated so far, on scientific parameters, particularly for the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Moreover, modern pharmacological treatment have side effects like nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, diplopia, tremors, peripheral oedema and xerostomia. Therefore, safer alternative medicine are need of hour.
