About diabetic neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by long-standing high blood sugar. The most common form affects the feet and hands, causing numbness, tingling, burning or shooting pain that is often worse at night, along with a loss of feeling that makes foot injuries easy to miss. Nerves that control digestion, blood pressure, the bladder and sexual function can also be affected, leading to bloating, dizziness on standing, bladder problems and erectile difficulty. Keeping blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol well controlled is the most important step, and your vitamin B12 level is worth checking, especially if you take metformin. Look at your feet every day, wear well-fitting footwear, never walk barefoot and avoid smoking and alcohol. See a doctor promptly for any foot wound, blister, redness, swelling or infection, because these can progress quickly.
