Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes, where up to 50% of those who have diabetes are affected by it. DPN makes patients vulnerable to experience limitations in their functioning by having symptoms of remitting pain and unsteadiness. Some of the overall complications that patients end up having include foot ulceration and amputation due to health care costs, loss of work and a reduced quality of life.
