  • Most diabetic patients with neuropathy are
    unaware that they have nerve damage until their
    doctor notices it during normal testing. Several
    tests can be used to diagnose diabetic
    neuropathy.
  • A physical exam can help your doctor detect any
    signs of neuropathy, such as loss of sensation or
    reflexes in the feet and legs.
  • Nerve conduction studies measure the speed at
    which electrical signals travel through the
    nerves. This test can help your doctor determine
    if there is any damage to the nerves and its
    functions.
