Popis: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the more common complications of diabetes, being associated to 50-75% of non-traumatic amputations. Early diagnosis of DPN often fails or occurs only when patients became symptomatic due to the non-availability of a simple, reliable, noninvasive method.
