No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Diabetes mellitus can result in damage to the nerves supplying the feet. Various tests can be used to assess nerve damage but no tests so far have been used to assess loss of sweating which can lead to dry skin, fissuring and ulceration. The indicator test (Neuropad) is a plaster which is applied to the sole of the feet just below the 1st and 2nd toes of both feet. If the color of the plaster changes to pink it indicates that there is no nerve damage to the nerves. However if the plaster retains the blue color or the color only partially changes to pink after 600 seconds then this is a positive test and the patient has nerve damage.
