Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is associated with significantly increased healthcare costs and thus an economic burden on society and the healthcare system (Happich et al. 2008; Khdour 2020; Shillo et al. 2019). A high number of hospital stays, need for care, incapacity to work as well as follow-up costs of DPN (e.g. amputations) and an overall greater use of healthcare resources are responsible for the higher medical costs (Sadosky et al. 2015; Schroeter/Hartung 2005; Ziegler 2020) and illustrate this Burden on patients suffering from DPN. The costs tend to increase as the burden of illness increases (Happich et al. 2008).
