Diabetic neuropathy, explained
Diabetic Neuropathy: a type of nerve damage that can occur in people with diabetes. Persistently high blood sugar levels can harm the nerves throughout your body, most commonly in the legs and feet.
What symptoms does it cause?
Tingling or burning sensations in the hands or feet, numbness or an inability to feel pain or temperature changes, sharp shooting pains or cramps, muscle weakness, loss of reflexes (especially in the ankles), and balance issues with an increased risk of falls.
Who is at risk?
Diabetic neuropathy is primarily caused by uncontrolled blood sugar levels over time. Other factors that increase risk include having diabetes for a long period, poor blood sugar management, high cholesterol or blood pressure, obesity, and smoking.
Can it be treated?
While diabetic neuropathy cannot be fully reversed, its progression can be slowed, and symptoms can be effectively managed with personalized care that may include medication, blood sugar management, advanced therapies, and lifestyle modifications.
