[English] Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by high levels of glucose in the blood caused by a defect in the secretion of the hormone insulin or a defect in its action. The consequences of having uncontrolled high blood glucose levels are numerous and serious. One of the main consequences being damage to the peripheral nerves, also called peripheral neuropathy. Objective: To implement the use of the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument to determine peripheral neuropathy in patients who come to the INDEN hospital for diabetes consultation for the first time. Methods: This investigation applied The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument which is composed of a fifteen-question section and a physical examination of the lower limbs, looking for the presence of deformities or any abnormality, ulcers, Achilles reflex, and perception of vibration. 100 total subjects who visited INDEN hospital for the first time for diabetic consultation were examined. The study was carried out in the period of October 2021. Results: A total of 100 subjects were examined in this investigation (50 females, 50 male) with a mean age of 53.08 years. The mean score of the MNSI questionnaire and the physical exam was 3.15 with a standard deviation of 2.13 and 2.72 with a standard deviation of 1.71 respectively. Positive tests for peripheral neuropathy were detected in 66% of the subjects with a mean age of 56.22 years. Correlations were found between the positive findings of the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument and subjects’ diet, physical activity and exercise, presence of comorbidities other than Diabetes Mellitus, schooling, and alcohol consumption.
