Diabetic Neuropathy and Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic Neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur in people with diabetes. It is a common complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. High blood sugar levels over an extended period of time can lead to damage of the nerves throughout the body. Prevention and management of diabetic neuropathy involves maintaining good blood sugar control, regular exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. Medications may also be prescribed to manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the condition. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are crucial for individuals with diabetes to monitor for signs of neuropathy and other potential complications.
