Diabetes is a condition that causes a person’s blood sugar levels to rise dangerously high. In some cases, untreated diabetes can develop into diabetic neuropathy.
According to Daily Express, neuropathy occurs when nerves are damaged, resulting in pain, tingling and numbness.
There are 6 warning signs of neuropathy associated with diabetes. We recommend you pay attention to these 6 signs:
When asked about treating this health issue in the comments, The Good Foot Doctor explained that if your neuropathy is related to diabetes, you need to pay attention to your blood sugar levels.
While Dr. Deborah Lee revealed that up to 50% of diabetics develop symptoms of neuropathy as the disease progresses.
She explained that diabetic neuropathy can affect not only your legs and feet, but also your hands and arms.
The doctor also noted that the six warning signs first appear on the hands and feet and then spread to the ankles and wrists.
The doctor added that all warning signs are important as diabetics are at high risk of developing foot and leg ulcers.
Over time, this can lead to osteoarthritis, gangrene and sepsis and may require amputation.
To prevent this, diabetics should have regular foot checks and if they experience symptoms that could indicate diabetic neuropathy, it is recommended to see a doctor.
However, patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus can help reduce the risk of neuropathy by controlling blood sugar.
