The Impact of Diabetes on Nerve Health:
Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels, can significantly impact the body's nervous system over time. Prolonged exposure to elevated blood glucose levels can cause damage to the small blood vessels supplying the nerves, impairing their ability to function correctly. This nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy, can occur in different forms, each presenting its unique set of symptoms and complications.
Managing Diabetic Neuropathy
While diabetic neuropathy cannot be cured, various treatment options are available to manage its symptoms, slow its progression, and enhance overall quality of life. Treatment may include medications and interventional procedures to alleviate pain and discomfort, blood sugar control through proper diabetes management, physical therapy to improve muscle strength and coordination, and lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and quitting smoking.
