Disorder of the nerves caused due to diabetes is called diabetic neuropathy. Most people with diabetes have some form of neuropathy. Neuropathy is caused when patients have high blood sugar levels for a prolonged period of time. It also caused due to smoking and alcohol abuse.
Symptoms of Diabetic Neuropathy
While some patients might not exhibit symptoms, others might experience:
• Tingling sensation.
• Numbness.
• Pain in the feet.
• Wasting of muscles.
• Dizziness.
• General weakness.
• Erectile Dysfunction.
Since nerve damage might occur over a prolonged period of time, symptoms might be mild in the beginning and get worse progressively. Diabetic neuropathy can be peripheral, autonomic, focal or proximal. Diabetic neuropathy leads to a diabetic foot when the neuropathy is of a peripheral nature. Peripheral neuropathy affects the feet, toes, arms, and hands. Often, due to the non-visibility of symptoms, only a doctor can find signs of peripheral neuropathy. It is for this that diabetics need to get their feet examined periodically. Book and appointment to get your health better.
A small cut can turn into a large complication when diabetes enters the picture. For one thing, diabetes can lead to a weakened immune system "so a simple cut or scrape can get infected easier than in someone who doesn’t have diabetes,” “If you can’t lift your feet, have someone do it for you and look at the bottom of your feet,” “You also can use mirrors to inspect the bottom of your feet if you need.” Protect your feet by letting your podiatrist handle even minor foot issues. Don’t try to remove calluses or warts yourself.You might be tempted to try commercial preparations you see at your pharmacy, but they can burn your skin, which could cause serious damage to your foot. If you attempt to cut a callus or wart with a razor blade or other instrument, you could end up cutting yourself and have an even more serious problem than you started with. If you have calluses, warts, or corns, have your podiatrist treat them. If you develop a callus, use a pumice stone to keep it under control. Apply it when your skin is wet, and use lotion immediately afterward.
