Abstract
Diabetic peripheral sensory neuropathy leading to insensate foot is a well-recognized complication of the diabetes mellitus. Herein, we report a patient with diabetic neuropathy who developed foot ulcer as a result of careless removal of a tape from the patient\'s skin. Health professionals should bear in mind that diabetic patients are extremely vulnerable to injury and require extreme vigilance.

Ayaklarda hissizliğe neden olan diyabetik periferal duyusal nöropati diyabetes mellitusun iyi bilinen komplikasyonlarından birisidir. Burada, hastanın cildinden bantın dikkatsiz bir şekilde çıkarılmasına bağlı olarak yara gelişen diyabetik nöropatili bir hasta bildirilmektedir.
