<![CDATA[Diabetic neuropathy is one of the chronic complications resulting from long-term diabetes. Symptoms in the early stages are often asymptomatic, making it difficult to detect the condition early on; this can potentially lead to more severe complications, such as diabetic foot ulcers. This study aims to analyze the relationship between diabetic neuropathy and the incidence of foot ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus. The method used in this study was a literature review examining various scientific journals from the PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases over the past five years. The factors discussed include the pathogenesis of the disease and metabolic involvement, clinical manifestations, diagnostic modalities, management, prognosis, and complications. Furthermore, patients with diabetic neuropathy should undergo routine early screening for pre-ulcer lesions to prevent severe complications. It is important to educate patients with diabetic neuropathy on self-foot care, proper hygiene, a healthy lifestyle, and good glycemic control, as well as to explain certain actions that should be avoided.]]>
