Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is a group of nerve disorders directly caused by complications from diabetes. Symptoms will vary between patients, the most common symptoms affect the sensory, motor, and autonomic nervous systems.
When you have diabetes, things can quickly go array. High blood glucose levels (or blood sugar levels) and high levels of fats can damage nerves in the blood due to diabetes.
What Can Cause Diabetic Neuropathy?
Treatment of these symptoms begins with proper management of diabetes while also managing diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Mismanaged DPN causes some of the most severe side-effects of having diabetes, which can lead to limb amputations in extreme cases. At Prestige Medical we understand when you have diabetes, it is essential to maintain a well-balanced lifestyle and stable blood-sugar levels.
