Background: Diabetic neuropathy has peripheral nerve damage which can reduce proprioceptive function. This condition causes functional balance disorders which increases the risk of falls.This study aims to determine assosiation between Diabetic Neuropathy Symptoms (DNS) and Diabetic Neuropathy Examination (DNE) with Berg Balance Scale (BBS) in diabetic neuropathy patients. Method: a cross-sectional design, in diabetic neuropathy outpatient in Adam Malik General Hospital .DNS and DNE were performed to diagnose diabetic neuropathy and BBS examination to assess functional balance. Data analysis using spearman correlation test. Results: Demographic characteristics of 52 subjects were male, age range 51-60 years, history of 5-10 years DM and HbA1c> 6.5%. The median scores of DNS, DNE and BBS are respectively; 3 (2-4), 3 (0-8) and 56 (29-56). As many as 82.7% of subjects had a risk of falling lightly and 17.3% had a risk of moderate fall. DNS has a significant correlation with a decrease BBS (p <0.001; r -0.4477). DNE has a significant correlation with a decrease BBS(p <0.001; r -0.606). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between DNS and DNE with a decrease BBS in diabetic neuropathy patients.
