Diabetic neuropathy and foot care
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur in people with diabetes. High blood sugar levels over time can harm nerves throughout the body, leading to various symptoms.
Symptoms:
- Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
- Sharp, burning pain
- Sensitivity to touch
- Weakness in muscles
- Digestive issues (in cases of autonomic neuropathy)
If you suspect you have diabetic neuropathy or are experiencing symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management.
