diabetic neuropathy symptoms. Subject of this study were type 2 of diabetes mellitus patients with
neuropathy who visited the Sidhi Sai Medical Clinic in February to July 2019, subject consisted of
50 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus with neuropathy. The test equipment used to determine
presence of neuropathy was Diabetic Neuropathy Symptom Score (DNS) and to determine the
