There's been a lot of discussion of diabetes in the media recently. One of the complications of diabetes is peripheral neuropathy which is the medical term for damage to the nerves of the peripheral nervous system.

For those of you who have never seen this condition, and are worried about being asked for a spot diagnosis while on a consultant ward round, I have uploaded this picture so you will now know what to look for.
