Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur in people with diabetes. It most commonly affects the legs and feet but can also impact other areas of the body. Symptoms may include pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected areas. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent further complications and improve quality of life.

• Early Detection: Identifies neuropathy at its earliest stages, allowing for prompt intervention and management.
• Comprehensive Evaluation: Thorough assessment of nerve function and symptoms to accurately diagnose the extent and type of neuropathy.
• Personalized Treatment Plans: Tailored treatment strategies based on individual needs and neuropathy severity to effectively manage symptoms and prevent progression.
• Multidisciplinary Approach: Integrated care involving endocrinologists, neurologists, and other specialists to provide comprehensive management of diabetic neuropathy.
