Özet
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.
