What is diabetes? Diabetes is characterized by an excessive amount of sugar in the blood. Diabetic neuropathy is a disease of the nervous system wherein the nerve cells deteriorate. This happens most commonly in the foot or leg in diabetics. As a result, the foot or leg becomes numb. As the disease of the nervous system progresses, the diabetic loses sensation, which leaves that area of the body susceptible to serious injury. Often times the foot or leg must be amputated.

There is No Cure for Diabetes

To date, there is no cure for diabetes.  The last resort to stop diabetes is through medication. Medication for diabetes can range from basic physical therapy, to anti depressants, but the best way is through diet. 

While there is no cure for diabetic neuropathy, one way we can stop it dead in its tracks is through a diet high in complex carbohydrates. Diets high in complex carbohydrates can help because of the high fiber content in such a diet. Fresh fruit and vegetables keep you fuller longer and the propensity to overeat lessens. You then lose weight. Losing weight is crucial and halting diabetes. Also, the more complex carbohydrates you eat, the less sugar gets in your blood.  The best and most important way to stop diabetic neuropathy dead in its tracks is by incorporating good dietary habits.
