Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common chronic complication of diabetes, marked by symptoms like hyperalgesia, numbness, and swelling that impair quality of life. Nerve conduction abnormalities in DPN significantly increase the risk of neuropathic foot ulcers (NFU), which can progress rapidly and lead to severe outcomes, including infection, gangrene, and amputation. Early prediction of NFU in DPN patients is crucial for timely intervention.
