Resumen
THE LOSS OF SENSIBILITY CAUSED BY DIABETIC
NEUROPATHY REQUIRES THE PATIENT'S SELF-CARE
TO AVOID FAINT WOUNDS. IN THIS CASE, THE PATIENT
SUFFERS BURNS DESPITE BEING EDUCATED IN THE
MATTER. THIS CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE THERMAL
SOURCE'S RARITY (SAND). THE PATIENT DOES NOT
IDENTIFY THE RISK BECAUSE HE DOES NOT RELATE IT
TO HIS PATHOLOGY. THIS CLINICAL CASE IS AIMED AT
STRESSING THE NEED FOR A PROPER EDUCATION IN
CASES OF DIABETIC NEUROPATHY, INCLUDING THE RISKS
THAT, ALTHOUGH INFREQUENT, ARE REMARKABLE.
