"2. Obtain a prior history of ulceration, amputation, Charcot foot, angio- plasty or vascular surgery, cigarette smoking, retinopathy, and renal dis- ease and assess current symptoms of neuropathy (pain, burning, numbness) and vascular disease (leg fatigue, claudication). (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"3. The examination should include inspection of the skin, assessment of foot deformities, neurological assessment including 10-g monofilament testing and pinprick or vibration test- ing or assessment of ankle reflexes, and vascular assessment including pulses in the legs and feet. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
