Touch the Toes Test.

There are a lot of posters who wonder if the sensations they have in their toes are related to their diabetes and possible neuropathy.
Whilst this test is not something to be relied on, it does help to identify if something is wrong and whether you need to seek advice.

Thanks CC. I did the test and did not pass it with flying colours so I am going to get checked out.

If you can stand on one foot with your eyes closed for 30 seconds, your nerve function is pretty good.
