What is Diabetic Neuropathy?

What is Diabetic Neuropathy?

Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It primarily affects the hands, feet, digestive system, and sexual function, leading to pain, numbness, and complications like erectile dysfunction (ED) and foot ulcers. 

Types of Diabetic Neuropathy 

Diabetic neuropathy can affect different nerve groups, leading to various symptoms: 

  1. Peripheral Neuropathy – Affects the legs, feet, arms, and hands; causes burning, tingling, numbness, and pain. 
  2. Autonomic Neuropathy – Impacts digestion, blood pressure, bladder control, and sexual function (erectile dysfunction in men & vaginal dryness in women). 
  3. Proximal Neuropathy – Causes severe pain and weakness in the hips, thighs, or buttocks. 
  4. Focal Neuropathy – Sudden nerve damage affecting the face, torso, or one nerve group, causing sharp pain.
