Diabetes mellitus is a disease that plagues all countries in the world. One of the affectations caused by this chronic disease is damage to peripheral nervous tissues. This is the cause of ulcers and amputations in parts of the foot of the diabetic patient. In this paper, we propose a method to evaluate the patient’s degree of preventive management of peripheral diabetic neuropathy. For this purpose, the Neutrosophic Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used to assess the importance of factors influencing the prevention of peripheral neuropathic complications associated with diabetes mellitus in some patients. For the final evaluation, the aggregator called neutrosophic uninorm is used; especially, the operator based on the combining function utilized in the Prospector expert system.
