WHAT IS DIABETIC NEUROPATHY
People with diabetes can, eventually, develop damage to nerves all throughout the body. Neuropathy brings on numbness, pain, in the feet, legs, hands,. Issues may also take place in other areas, including the digestive tract, heart, and sex organs.
HALF OF DIABETIC INDIVIDUALS HAVE NEUROPATHY
People with diabetes can develop nerve problems any time. But the longer a person has diabetes, the greater the risk. An estimated 50% of individuals with diabetes have some kind of neuropathy, though not all those with neuropathy have signs and symptoms. The greatest rates of neuropathy are among individuals who have had the disease for around 25 years.
WHO’S AT RISK
Diabetic neuropathy is more frequent in people who have trouble managing their blood sugar, in individuals with high levels of blood fat as well as blood pressure, in over weight people and in those patients over the age of forty. The most common form of neuropathy is peripheral neuropathy, also referred to as distal symmetric neuropathy, which impacts the legs and arms.
