Conditions

diabetic neuropathy loss of sensation

Interventions

The intervention will be the use of vibrating insoles. These are insoles that are developed to be put on the market. As an immediate effect of the insoles is expected, measurements will be performed

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Diabetes mellitus, type I or type II - Aged 18 years or older - Diagnosed with neuropathy - VPT between 25-45V - Understand Dutch or English
