The use of specially designed shoes is effective in preventing relapses in diabetic patients with previous ulceration.

Diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy demonstrate a relative deficit in their ability to maintain posture. Posturography allows an early disclosure of the failure of postural control.

The autonomic nervous system directly influences peripheral circulation. In diabetic patients without PVD, a failure of sympathetic fibers caused by autonomic neuropathy could lead to a reduction of TBP. Therefore, TBP cannot be used as an ischemic index in diabetic patients.
