Abstract

A 58-year old male employee presented to the occupational health clinic for evaluation after experiencing several falls. He had been diagnosed as having type II diabetes 5 years earlier. The physical examination noted peripheral neuropathy. This article reviews the effects of diabetes on peripheral nerves and discusses interventions that the occupational health nurse may use to monitor workers with diabetes.
