Methods 60cases of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were randomly divided into into treatment group and control group， treatment group（30 cases） adopt PGLA line catgut embedding therapy， control group（30 cases） adopt the traditional acupuncture therapy. The 2 groups were assessed by the “Michigan Diabetes Peripheral Neuropathy Score（MDNS）” and the nerve sensory conduction velocity（SCV） and motor conduction velocity（MCV）. Results there were significant differences in the clinical scores of diabetic peripheral neuropathy（P<0.05） between the two groups.
