This document discusses the process of diagnosing diabetic neuropathy through various techniques. It outlines several methods including: - Assessing neuropathic symptoms through a neuropathic symptom score questionnaire - Evaluating the severity and change of neuropathic symptoms using a visual analogue pain scale - Using a neuropathic impairment score which indicates the presence of neuropathy based on lower limb measurements - Performing quantitative sensory testing and sural nerve morphometry to analyze nerve fibers It notes that accurately diagnosing diabetic neuropathy is complex as patients may not report symptoms and various testing methods have limitations and difficulties in comparison. Understanding the limitations of techniques is important.
