Questions About How Is Neoropathy Diagnosed

My GP has told me that I have Diabetic Neuropathy and I'm being sent to a neurologist.

My problems are mainly in both legs and feet. I have also injured my back some 15 years ago and had 2 operations on my back. My legs and feet hurt like someone busted every bone in feet and legs and feels like at times scalding water being poured on them.

The pain has been less but I'm left with very week legs and they occasionally just go out from under me at a moments notice.

My question is what does the neurologist do to check for neuropathy?
