What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a serious illness that affects about 10 percent of the population of the United States. This disease allows blood glucose levels to rise to unhealthy and unsafe levels. If not controlled, it can result in serious side effects for patients who suffer from diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most serious issues that can arise as a result of this disease. Our team will work with you to provide practical measures that can protect you from the complications of this condition.
Understanding Diabetic Neuropathy
Over time, the high glucose levels associated with diabetes can cause nerve damage throughout your body. This can cause tingling, numbness or pain for some diabetes patients. In other cases, the ability of the nerves to transmit pain signals can be limited or eliminated altogether. Diabetic neuropathy can affect the feet by allowing injuries and medical conditions to go unnoticed, which can cause infections and other issues to develop. Diabetes can also affect the circulation of the blood to extremities, which can create other issues for our patients.
