Distal symmetrical polyneuropathy is present in all individuals with diabetes and foot ulcers - and does not associate with healing time

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

We estimated the occurrence of diabetic neuropathy using six different diagnostic modalities in individuals with newly diagnosed diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and assessed the association with DFU healing time. All individuals with DFU had distal symmetrical polyneuropathy. Presence of neuropathy did not associate with ulcer healing time (p ≥ 0.12).
