I was talking to Ashley Ball, PharmD Candidate, LECOM-School of Pharmacy, about the problem with helping patients with DPN. We were talking about how you can definitively say the pain is really DPN, and not something else like arthritis.

She decided to see what kind of tests were available and how effective they are. Unlike glucose monitors, CGM devices, or even blood pressure monitors, there is no definitive device that clinicians can use.

She did put together a great feature on what is available and how you can take advantage of these tests for your patient.
