Picture of fruit and vegetables

[edit]

The picture of fruit and vegetables is completely irrelevant. OK to remove?10:06, 17 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.1.8.4 (talkcontribs)

ICD-10 code

[edit]

The correct ICD-10 codes for diabetic amyotrophy would be E10.44 for DM type 1 and E11.44 for DM type 2--205.175.158.150 (talk) 17:32, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is whack

[edit]

it's listed as being in "Urology", there's a picture of root levels when this is a plexus injury affecting the anterior thigh/abductors/adductors primarily, the EMG picture is some sort of weird research EMG or something, and in reality we'd call a plexopathy in a diabetic as diabetic amyotrophy on routine NCS/EMG if we see it...barring some other kind of reason to have a plexopathy, which is unlikely - from the description it sounded like the diagnosis is somehow really difficult (nerve conduction studies/EMG ARE electrodiagnostic testing by the way). I'm a physician who is too timid to start editing these pages directly, but what's there seems pretty off

--- OK I fixed all this stuff


it's also not "low importance", I'm not sure what that means for medicine, it's a real thing that affects people in a large way — Preceding unsigned comment added by SlamNo7 (talkcontribs) 02:59, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A. agreed, this is certainly not of low importance considering that: 1. it is disabling 2. it is reflective of an underlying disorder that can cause multi-organ damage.

B. Furthermore, the statement that 'Diabetic neuropathy is an uncommon complication of diabetes.' is erroneous. C. There are grammatical errors that contribute to this overall poorly written piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaverickDoctor (talkcontribs) 15:22, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
