Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy or DPN is one of the most common side effects of diabetes that significantly diminishes the quality of life, making performing daily tasks gruelling. DPN occurs when the small blood vessels that supply the peripheral nerves with nutrients and oxygen are damaged due to chronic high blood sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n

While we now know what Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy entails, let us examine how diabetes leads to nerve damage and, over time, DPN.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does Diabetes Lead To Nerve Damage?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Small blood vessels or capillaries supply the nerves throughout the body with oxygen and nutrients, which are essential for them to function. However, with diabetes, small blood vessels cannot supply enough nutrients and oxygen to the nerves, thereby damaging them greatly and giving rise to more complex ailments like Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also important to note that when DNS is left untreated, it can be a rapidly degenerative ailment and can cause permanent nerve damage from diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are numerous ways that DNS can present itself, and in this article, we will explore a few of the most common symptoms of this degenerative condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common Neuropathic Pain Symptoms<\/b><\/h2>\n

A few of the most common symptoms of nerve damage from diabetes or neuropathic pain symptoms include –<\/span><\/p>\n

Loss Of Feeling\/ Numbness – <\/b>Patients might feel numbness from their toes to their feet and or numbness in their fingers and hands. The numbness can make it challenging to spot other injuries and changes in temperatures, making the entire ordeal dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tingling & Electric Shock Sensations – <\/b>The damaged nerves can send disruptive signals to the hands and feet, which often cause tingling and electric shock-like sensations in the extremities. This sensation can be very uncomfortable and cause a decline in the patient’s ability to perform daily tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muscle Weakness – <\/b>Another common neuropathic pain symptom can present itself as pain and weakness in the muscles. Lack of nutrients and oxygen supply to the nerves causes the muscles to weaken over time, causing pain and fatigue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Burning Sensation – <\/b>Like tingling, the nerve damage can cause burning sensations in the hands and legs, which can be painful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hyperalgesia – <\/b>Hyperalgesia is a more intense pain sensation than usual caused by nerve damage. Hyperalgesia can also increase sensitivity to touch, often causing severe pain even from slight touches.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a clear understanding of the many symptoms, let us now look at when to seek treatment for nerve damage.<\/span><\/p>\n
