Diabetic neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes, is distinct from radiculopathy but equally impactful. It involves nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes. This condition can lead to a range of symptoms, affecting various parts of the body, and can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain.
Diabetic neuropathy refers to various types of nerve damage in people with diabetes. It most commonly affects the nerves in the feet and legs, but nerves in other parts of the body can also be affected.
Prolonged elevation in blood sugar can damage nerves.
The risk increases with the duration of diabetes.
High sugar levels can also damage the small blood vessels that supply nerves.
Inflammatory processes associated with diabetes can contribute to nerve damage.
Understanding diabetic neuropathy involves recognizing the importance of blood sugar control and the potential for preventing or delaying the onset and progression of the condition.
Especially in the feet and legs.
Often described as burning, shooting, or stabbing pain.
Difficulty in walking or performing manual tasks.
Including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation.
