Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetic neuropathy is a condition that affects people with diabetes. It is a common complication that occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the nerves, and can be experienced as pain, numbness, tingling, and sensitivity to touch. It can also cause weakness or paralysis of the muscles, digestive issues, and issues with circulation. If left untreated, diabetic neuropathy can lead to serious complications, such as amputations, vision loss, kidney damage, and stroke. Treatment options include medications, lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, and surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of complications and improve a patient’s quality of life.
