Taken on June 5, 1989, the âtank manâ quickly became one of the most famous photos in the world. The identity of the protester has never been confirmed.

Diabetic neuropathies are nerve disorders caused by many of the abnormalities common to diabetes, such as high blood glucose. Neuropathy can affect nerves throughout the body, causing numbness and sometimes pain in the hands, arms, feet, or legs, and problems with the digestive tract, heart, sex organs, and other body systems.
In the UK, diabetes (both type 1 and type 2) is the most common cause of peripheral neuropathy. Over time, the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes can damage the nerves. This type of nerve damage is known as diabetic polyneuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy can also have a wide range of other causes.
