To enhance inspection efficiency of diabetic neuropathy.SOLUTION: A first inspection device 21 acquires a stimulation perception threshold of a subject S being at a predetermined place by stimulating the peripheral nerves of the subject S. A second inspection device 22 stimulates dorsoventral nerves and tibial nerves of the subject S by flowing current to a stimulation electrode 212 worn on the subject S and thereby acquires induction electromyogram from the subject S being at the predetermined place. An evaluation device 23 evaluates the seriousness of a diabetic neuropathy based on a seriousness reference proposed by Dr. Baba of the subject S on the basis of the stimulation perception threshold and the induction electromyogram. An output device 24 outputs a result of the evaluation by the evaluation device 23.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
