Diabetic neuropathy occurs in two different types of veins close to the surface of your skin. DPN can affect the small nerves that protect your body by sending signals about pain and temperature changes in your brain. This condition can also attack large nerves that detect touch, pressure, and help you maintain your balance.
If you keep your blood sugar levels on target, you can help prevent or delay nerve damage. If you already have nerve damage, this will help prevent or delay the loss. Other treatments that may help.
Types of Neuropathy:
- Peripheral Neuropathy:
The most popular type of neuropathy is peripheral neuropathy. It affects the nerves in the arms, legs, feet, and arms. It usually starts in the feet, and it starts in both legs at once.
Symptoms:
- Tingling
- Pain or sensitivity
- Weakness
Treatment and Medications:
While maintaining blood sugar levels in the target range, peripheral neuropathy can be prevented and prevented from worsening, but there is no single treatment that can establish nerve disease once. To treat nerve damage, you have to keep your blood sugar levels within your target range, manage your pain, and protect your feet.

- Autonomic Neuropathy:
Autonomic neuropathy affects the autonomic nerve, which controls the bladder, intestinal stones, and genitals, among other organs. Autonomic neuropathy can also affect erectile dysfunction (ED) when it concerns the nerves that control erectile dysfunction with sexual stimulation. However, sexual desire is usually not reduced.
Symptoms:
You can find Autonomic neuropathy symptoms in your digestive system, urinary tract, sex organs, heart and blood vessels, sweat glands, and eyes.
Treatment:
There are several treatments for damage to the nerves that control the body’s systems. For example, a dietitian can help you plan a meal if you have nausea or feel full after eating small amounts. Some medicines can speed up digestion and reduce diarrhea. The problem of erections can be treated with medication or devices.
How common is Neuropathy?
Diabetic neuropathy is commonly found in poor control, high blood pressure in overweight patients with high blood fat and blood pressure levels, and over 40 years of age. The more lasting a person has diabetes, the higher the chance of developing neuropathy. Symptoms of neuropathy often first manifest as numbness or pain in the arms, legs, arms, or legs (distal symmetric neuropathy). However, they can also affect organs, including the heart and sexual organs.
