Diabetic neuropathy refers to nerve damage caused by diabetes. It usually develops over time due to high blood sugar levels. Symptoms can vary but commonly include tingling, numbness, and pain in the hands and feet. Other symptoms may include muscle weakness, changes in digestion, and urinary problems. Managing blood sugar levels is essential in preventing or slowing down the progression of diabetic neuropathy. Treatment may involve medications to alleviate pain and other symptoms, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring by a healthcare professional. Early diagnosis and proactive management are crucial in minimizing complications from diabetic neuropathy.
