Diabetes Feet - Causes of Diabetes Nerve Damage


How many of you know what diabetic neuropathies is? Diabetic neuropathies is a nerve disorder that if not taken serious can have dire consequences. Diabetes nerve damage can be taking place right under your nose without realizing it.

In others, diabetes nerve damage is noticeable by the tingling and numbness in arms, hands, legs and feet. Most any organ in the body can be affected by diabetic neuropathies.

In the U.S. today it is estimated that nearly 60% of diabetics suffer from diabetic neuropathies or a form of it. As one grows older the chances of developing neuropathie increases and progresses through time. Those who have trouble controlling blood sugar levels and those with diabetes for over 25 years are more likely to get this disease.

Causes Of Diabetic Neuropathies & Diabetes Nerve Damage

The symptoms of diabetes nerve damage will differ from person to person, those with higher blood glucose levels for longer periods of time are more likely to suffer from nerve damage.

In a lot of folks mild nerve damage is not even noticed, while others will have severe symptoms along with a great deal of pain. Below I go over some causes...

* The way we live, our lifestyle, has a great deal to do with developing neuropathie. Smoking and drinking have a huge impact on health, diabetes or no diabetes.

* For many this horrible disease is inherited from family members past and present.

* Abnormally high blood fat levels to go along with high glucose levels.

* Problems with blood vessels in the extremities.

* Autoimmune diseases may be contributing problems and causing inflammation of the nerves.

Now we are going to go over what to look out for, symptoms of diabetic neuropathies:

For the most part the symptoms start out with a tingling sensation in the hands, arms, feet and legs. In lots of folks there will be no noticeable damage. Some people will feel pain that is unbearable at times. All depends on the severity and progress of the diabetes.

* Numbness in hands, arms, legs and feet.

* Feeling like you have indigestion all the time. Being nauseated or even vomiting.

* Feeling weak and not wanting to do much.

* Headrush, fainting spells from possible high blood pressure. This usually happens when getting up to quickly.

To be on the safe side, if you or a loved one are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is high time for a visit to your doctor. He will, with a few blood tests let you know if in fact, you are a diabetic. Your doctor will also help you in controlling diabetes nerve damage if the problem arises.

Diabetes and Nerve Damage- What You Should Know About Diabetic Neuropathy


Just imagine ...

Imagine a world where you can't feel the lush grass between your toes.

Imagine a world where you can't hear the harmonious chirps of the birds.

Imagine a world where you can't see the beautiful sunrises or sunsets.

Imagine a world where you can't smell the fragrance of the seasons.

Imagine a world where you can't taste the delectable foods you love.

Is this the kind of world you want to live in? Of course not, but the truth is if you don't take care of your diabetes, this could be the world that you live in.

Diabetes and nerve damage go together like Bonnie and Clyde or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. You can't go with just one, the same goes with diabetes and nerve damage.

What you should know about diabetes and nerve damage

People who have had diabetes for a long period of time are at greater risk of developing nerve damage. At first, the nerve damage may be mild, but as time goes on, the symptoms and treatment worsen. So, here's a checklist of factors that cause nerve damage:

1. Autoimmune factors.

2. High blood sugar.

3. Inherited traits.

4. Lifestyle factors (smoking or alcohol use, no exercising).

5. Mechanical injuries to nerves (like carpal tunnel syndrome).

6. Metabolic factors (like high blood glucose, diabetes, and low levels of insulin).

7. Neurovascular factors (damage to the blood vessels).

As you can see from the above list, there are some risks you simply cannot control. However, you will also note that there are several risks you, and only you, can control.

What you should know about the early symptoms of nerve damage

If you think you're at risk, here is a list of some early symptoms you can check to see if you have:

1. Diarrhea or constipation.

2. Dizziness or faintness due to a drop in blood pressure.

3. Indigestion, nausea, or vomiting.

4. Numbness, tingling, or pain in the toes, legs, feet, hands, arms, and fingers.

5. Problems with urination.

6. Weakness in the muscles of the feet or hands.

7. Weight loss.

What you should know to prevent nerve damage

If you're ready to take some steps to prevent yourself from getting nerve damage, here are a few tips to help ensure your health:

Keep your blood sugar as close to normal as it is safe for you.

Maintain normal blood pressure.

Properly care and inspect your feet on a daily basis.

Quit smoking.

Quit drinking.

What you should know about treatment options for diabetes and nerve damage

Here's a list of treatment options to benefit your health:

- Medications and other treatments.

- Keeping your blood sugar close to normal may help to decrease the pain.

It's not just your imagination...

Imagine a world where you can feel the lush grass between your toes.

Imagine a world where you can hear the harmonious chirps of the birds.

Imagine a world where you can see the beautiful sunrises or sunsets.

Imagine a world where you can smell the fragrance of the seasons.

Imagine a world where you can taste the delectable foods you love.

Imagine a world where you can live the life you've always wanted to live.




For some additional help controlling your blood sugar levels, consider trying an all-natural herbal supplement. When used in conjunction with healthy lifestyle changes, natural supplements provide safe, side-effect free diabetes control.

Diabetic Neuropathy - Nerve Damage From High Blood Sugars


A diagnosis of diabetes is not a guaranteed precursor towards the eventual complications of nerve damage on the hands or more frequently the feet of every individual. A careful diet now and a minimum of exercise daily can actually ward off most of the complications possible with this debilitating condition.

What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy, or nerve damage, is your body's way of telling you your blood sugars have been consistently running too high. Normally, after about three to five years post diagnosis and with consistent out of control blood sugars, the nerves running towards your hands or feet are susceptible to damage. Common symptoms reported are:

increased swelling and bloating in the wrists, legs, ankles and feet
a "pins and needles" prickling sensation or burning pain
ulcers, blisters or cuts will be very slow to heal
cuts and scrapes will rapidly downgrade to serious infections or open-sore wounds

Three Types Of Neuropathy

Different people... different forms at diagnosis for this condition. Some people may also notice they seem to have a combination of two of the forms of neuropathy. Whichever type, the symptoms need to be slowed down and reversed to halt the progression of this disease. Good diabetic care in the early stages can lead to a reversal of complications.

Autonomic Neuropathy affects any combination of nerves which control the body's involuntary functions. Some examples of this includes the bladder (urine control), the stomach and digestion of your foods, the sex organs or your heart and lung functions. Any of these, plus more, can lose their ability to perform their expected daily functions.

Motor Neuropathy is the most unusual type of diagnosis in diabetes. This patient will slowly notice a diminishing ability to control their muscle functions. You could lose your ability to walk, talk, move your hands or feet etc... Any body part reliant on the muscle groups for operation is in danger of losing all or part of its motor control.

Sensory Neuropathy is the most common in diagnosis. Many doctors commonly refer to this one as peripheral neuropathy. This is a slow gradual progression in loss of feeling along the nerve pathways from your brain to your hands and feet. Initial symptoms of pain, numbness and tingling leads to an eventual loss in your ability to differentiate heat and cold. By this stage, frostbite or heatstroke is an immediate concern. The patient's sensory perception in the affected body limb has been entirely lost. Stubbing your toe on a bedpost, getting a cut or scrape or even an accidental stepping on a bed of tacks or nails will be of no consequence because the patient could feel nothing.

The importance of differentiating your type of neuropathy can forestall dead and diseased cells from turning gangrenous which ultimately leads to an amputation. The necessity to halt the spread of poisonous toxins flowing all through your blood stream is urgent. Without this, it can lead to even bigger and harder problems to eliminate. Work with your doctor, determine your type and severity, then start implementing a good treatment program to safeguard your future.

The longer you wait, the worse the symptoms will get. Early treatment often can reduce or even reverse many of the difficulties of diabetic neuropathy. Do not assume, as many people commonly do, time and patience will give your body time to start feeling better. An immediate conference is needed with your doctor to set in motion an important therapy schedule to prevent the onslaught of any ever-escalating symptoms.

Lower Your Blood Sugar Levels to Prevent Diabetic Nerve Damage


Diabetic neuropathy is a family of nerve disorders caused by poorly controlled blood sugar levels for extended periods of time. Up to sixty per cent of people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are affected by neuropathy or nerve damage. The likelihood of nerve damage occurring increases with the length of time you have diabetes.

As well as constantly high blood sugar levels, neuropathy is made worse by:


the diabetic's age... nerve damage is more common in people over 40
the diabetic's height... neuropathy is more common in taller people, as they have longer nerve fibers to damage
alcohol... even small amounts of alcohol can make nerve damage worse

Various disorders of your nervous system are broken down into:

1. Loss of sensation... sensory nerves which detect cold, pain and heat are damaged

2. Loss of motor nerves... motor nerves carrying impulses to your muscles to control movement are damaged

3. Loss of autonomic nerves, or automatic nerves... we can't control these ones. They take care of your heart rate, movement of food through your digestive system, and more. Automatic functions are dependent on the autonomic nerves and damage depends on the the location of the nerve. Problems with autonomic nerves could lead to:


sexual dysfunction: occurs in 50 per cent of males with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and 30 per cent of females with diabetes. Males are unable to sustain an erection and females have problems with lubricating the vagina for intercourse
bladder issues: come about by you being unable to recognise bladder fullness. Urine is not eliminated and this leads to urinary tract infections
sweating problem:especially in your feet. Then your body tries to compensate for lack of sweating in your feet by causing excessive sweating of your face and body
abnormalities of your pupil: your pupils set the amount of light allowed to enter. Due to the neuropathy the pupil is small and will not open up in a dark room

Because of the large number of nerves in your body, you can run into all sorts of problems. But none of them ever need bother you. The key point to remember is prevention or early detection is much better than trying to fix diabetic neuropathy or diabetic nerve damage.




Are you looking for effective ways to manage your type 2 diabetes?

To download your free copy of my E-Book, click here now: Answers to Your Questions... its based on questions many diabetics have asked me over recent months.

The Cause of Nerve Damage in Diabetic Neuropathy and Nerve Conduction Velocity


As well as causing kidney and eye complications diabetes is well known for damaging and in severe cases destroying nerves. Technically the small blood vessels which supply nerve tissue to nerves are damaged. A diabetic has nerves which no longer function in the normal manner. An indication or symptom of nerve damage in a diabetic is sometimes described as a numbing or tingling sensation accompanied with pain in the major extremities e.g. hands and arms, feet and legs.

Nerve damage slowly progresses and worsens over time if left untreated and not addressed with some form of remedy during early stages of diabetic neuropathy diagnosis. As diabetic neuropathy takes about 10 years to develop, it's uncommon in children unless they're already diabetic. Older people about 40 years of age and beyond are more likely to be prone to diabetic neuropathy; the same can be said for taller people as they have longer nerve fibres which results in a higher risk of them being damaged. Alcohol severely worsens the problem and medical experts have found a link between large consumptions of alcohol and neuropathy.

Technically, diabetic neuropathy is caused because of the pace or speed of the body's nervous impulse. A diabetic neuropathy sufferer has a slower NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity) compared to a normal, healthy body. Depending on the pace of NCV mild or severe sensations are lost in the affected nerves replaced by pain.

Our bodies contain certain types of nerve fibres which are responsible for stabilising sensations like vibration, sensitivity, heat, touch temperature etc.

Some of the tests that can be carried out on nerve fibres are as follows:

Testing of nerve vibration

Doctors or physician use a tuning fork to assess how much nerves have been damaged. Damaged nerves which respond to the tuning fork indicate that the person may be experiencing difficulties with balance.

Testing of nerve temperature

Doctors or physician can test nerves to see if they respond to temperatures like hot and cold. If the person is unaware of the temperature used to test their nerves then this means that their nerves have lost the ability to sense temperature.

Testing of nerve touch

Filaments are used in this test and placed on the soles of feet. If a person cannot feel the filament this usually means that the nerves in feet have been damaged.

Solution

Sufferers can also use electronic devices in the comfort of their own home to actually repair and reverse their damaged nerves. There are some great devices on the market. Do be careful when selecting these products as some of these devices only block nerve signals and this is not going to target the root cause of the problem. Damaged nerves need to be repaired, strengthen and rebuilt to their previous state so that they can start functioning again. ReBuilder Medical Treatment device is one such electronical product which works by sending electric signals to damaged nerves and 'jump starting' these nerves, so to speak, the electrical signal stimulates blood flow in the region and increases oxygen to the nerves which is what the nerves are so deprived of.
