Note
The practice recommendation “Diabetic Neuropathy” of the DDG was developed in close alignment with the National Healthcare Guideline (Nationale Versorgungsleitlinie - NVL) “Neuropathy in Diabetes in Adulthood” (Neuropathie bei Diabetes im Erwachsenenalter), long version, version 1.2, 28 November 2011, based on the version of August 2011 [1] [2]:

In June 2016 the National Healthcare Guideline was reviewed by the members of the guideline group. Until completion of the updated version (expected January 2020), several sections have been designated as “under revision” (National Healthcare Guideline Neuropathy in Diabetes in Adulthood - Long Version. 1st edition, 2011. version 5. AWMF register no.: nvl-001e. Available at: http://www.leitlinien.de/nvl/diabetes/neuropathie). Subject to revision of the National Healthcare Guideline, the sections revised in this Practice Tool reflect the position of DDG.
