Understanding and Managing Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
“Living with diabetes can feel like a daily balancing act, and for many, one of the most challenging complications is diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). If you’ve experienced tingling, numbness, or burning pain in your feet or hands, you’re not alone. DPN affects up to 50% of people with diabetes, making it one of the most common long-term complications.”
How Does Diabetes Cause Peripheral Neuropathy?
In conclusion, peripheral neuropathy in diabetes is primarily caused by high blood sugar levels, which damage the nerves through reduced blood flow, oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic disturbances.
