    once neuropathy steps-in, then the signs of metatarsal fat pad atrophy can be evident later. whereas is otherwise a healthy diabetic foot, the signs of fatty pad atrophy may not present as the individual is still much aware of the environment around their feet, their gait may still be consistent compared to a neuropathic foot's gait.

    So we need a 'Is There Histomorphological Evidence of Plantar Metatarsal Fat Pad Atrophy in Patients with Diabetic Neuropathy?' study? Non diab control, non neuropath group and neuropath group.

    It´s a good question, because not only has a influence the poor fat pad thickness in relation with bone damage, but it also important the problems regarding with bad sensations and feedback information about sensations skin-versus ground, or skin versus shoes, and the major biomechanical muscles dissease.
