History and Symptoms
Dermatologic Assessment
- Visual inspection of the skin: peeling skin, maceration, fissuring between toes
- Skin temperature: Should be warm at the tibia cold at distal toe.
- Look for deformities, charcot foot, hammer toe, and heels.
Neuropathy Assessment
Symptoms include burning and pins and needles at early stages of the condition.
Using the neuropathy symptoms score (NSS)[1] and neuropathy disability score (NDS),[2] almost half of the patients with diabetes have some level of neuropathy prior to diagnosis. The physician should assess;
- Muscle strength and tone
- Temperature
- Sensation
- Light touch
- Filament nerve conduction studies
- Quantitative sensory testing and autonomic testing
