Abstract

Diabetes is the most prevailing metabolic disease and it causes peripheral neuropathy which is a state where the individual looses the sensation of touch and temperature in the peripheral parts of the body like finger tips, toes, etc. Diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy is very important to save a diabetic patient from major injuries and sometimes amputations. Hence, early diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy would help the diabetic patient to be cautious and this would help medical practitioners to administer them with medicines or drugs. This is a survey of such early diagnosis methods which is been researched recently.
