Pin-prick (Medipin) assessment for neuropathy in diabetes: Prospective screening study in primary care
The Medipin pin-prick device can identify diabetic neuropathy and detects (first signs of) neuropathy in relatively more patients than 10 g monofilament testing. The differential targeting of nerve types, namely predominant small (Medipin) versus large (monofilament) fibre, likely underpins the difference in outcomes.
