Affected By Up To 50% Of Patients With Both Type 1 And Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Diabetic Neuropathy Is One Of The Most Common Complications

Your blood glucose or blood sugar levels are too high if you have diabetes. This may eventually harm your nerves' protective covering or the blood arteries that supply them with oxygen. Nerve damage can cause messages to be sent slowly, incorrectly, or not at all. Your doctor will use a physical examination and nerve tests to identify Diabetic Neuropathy. Blood sugar management can help prevent nerve issues or stop them from growing worse. Painkillers and other medications may be used as part of the treatment.


Several types of nerve injury linked to diabetes mellitus are referred to as Diabetic Neuropathy. Depending on where the nerve injury occurred, symptoms may include sensory changes like numbness, tingling, or pain, motor changes like weakness, or autonomic changes like symptoms relating to the urinary system. These alterations are believed to be caused by a microvascular damage to the tiny blood arteries that supply the nerves (vasa nervorum). Distal symmetric polyneuropathy, third, fourth, or sixth cranial nerve palsy, mononeuropathy, mononeuropathy multiplex, diabetic amyotrophy, and autonomic neuropathy are very common diseases that may be linked to diabetic neuropathy.



Treatment of diabetic neuropathy typically involves managing symptoms and controlling blood sugar levels. Medications may be used to manage pain, such as antidepressants or anticonvulsants. In severe cases, opioids may be prescribed. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, or other forms of rehabilitation may also be recommended to improve mobility and function.


Lifestyle changes are also an important part of managing Diabetic Neuropathy. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking can help control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of complications.
