In a diabetic patient, the high level of blood glucose can damage the nerve causing neuropathy. The diabetic patient might get dry skin because the neuropathy happens in the autonomic nervous system that was regulating the skin glands excretion.

Probably going to Clinic Eight was the bedt thing to do given the fact that it was an ER case. Considering the type of medical insurance and coverage ( in USA?) and the recommended follow up ( given by Dr. Howitzer) there could be a number of causes and effects, being them neurological or not
It could be anything physical, emotional, or behavioral depending on the injury.
