Which objective and subjective tests are most sensitive and reliable for assessing diabetic neuropathy?
A combination of tests reflecting different nerve fiber classes provides the most accurate overall classification of diabetic neuropathy, with nerve conduction velocities being the most sensitive individual tests.
