Neuropathy Symptoms - Here is What All Diabetics Need to Know


NEUROPATHY MAY PRODUCE DIABETIC NERVE PAIN

Neuropathy means nerve disease or damage. Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by diabetes. People with diabetes time and again have high glucose levels. In the end, high glucose levels damage nerves all through their body.

NEUROPATHY COMES IN THREE FLAVORS

1. Peripheral neuropathy is injure to peripheral nerves. These are the nerves that sense ache, contact, cold and hot. They also have an effect on muscle strength and movement. The nerves in the lower legs and feet are most frequently affected. This sort of nerve damage can lead to severe foot troubles. The harm usually gets worse gradually, over months or perhaps years. Peripheral neuropathy is what produces the diabetic nerve pain.

2. Autonomic neuropathy is injure to autonomic nerves. These are the nerves that control things like your blood pressure, heartbeat, digestion, urination, sweat, and sexual function.

3. Focal neuropathy attacks just one nerve, usually in the thigh, wrist, or foot. It may as well affect the nerves of your chest and back and those that direct your eye muscles. This sort of nerve damage typically happens abruptly.

SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I LEAVE MY HIGH BLOOD SUGAR UNCONTROLLED?

After a while, high blood glucose levels from diabetes can harm nerves all through your body. The higher your blood glucose levels, the more expected you are to suffer from nerve damage. Hence, controlling your blood glucose during your life is imperative.

The longer you suffer from diabetes and the older you get, the more prone you are to suffer from nerve damage. Diabetics who drink too much alcohol are more likely to suffer from nerve damage too.

Statistics show that almost half of all diabetics end up getting diabetic neuropathy.

HOW CAN I TELL I HAVE THE NEUROPATHY SYMPTOMS?

Your symptoms can vary, depending on which nerves are damaged. You may not perhaps be able to feel pain, in particular in your feet. This situation can lead to severe infections, since wounds or other harms may not get treated.

If other areas of your body are affected, neuropathy symptoms may include:

++ Troubles with digestion, such as belching, constipation, bloating, nausea and sickness, diarrhea, and abdomen pain.

++ Troubles with body temperature, such as intense sweating at night or when you eat a number of foods. Some other people may have reduced sweating, particularly in their legs and feet.

++ Troubles with urination, such as finding it difficult to tell if your bladder is full or finding it difficult to entirely drain your bladder.

++ Sexual troubles, such as erectile dysfunction in men and vaginal dehydration in women.

++ Heart and blood vessel troubles, leading to reduced blood circulation or low pressure. This may cause weakness, dizziness, or fainting when you sit up or stand up from a former reclining position.

++ Trouble sensing when your blood glucose is low.

IF YOU SUSPECT, DO NOT WAIT ANY LONGER

Physicians cannot test for all sorts of nerve damage. So it is essential to tell your medical doctor about any pain or limitation you feel, the sooner the better. Mention as well heavy sweating or faintness and changes in urination, digestion, and any sexual dysfunction.

Your physician will check how well you sense light touch and temperature and will check up your potency and your reflexes with electromyograms and nerve conduction studies. You may require other tests to distinguish which sort of diabetic neuropathy you have and to help conduct your treatment.

Why Do Diabetics Develop Neuropathy?


If you have diabetes and you have any of these symptoms:


Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting
Difficulty swallowing
Deep pain, especially in your legs and feet
Loss of sensation and ability to feel warmth or cold
Muscle cramps
Numbness, tingling or burning in your arms, hands, legs or feet
Weakness
Dizziness, especially when you try to stand up
Drooping facial muscles
Loss of bladder control

You could have diabetic neuropathy. Neuropathy is a type of peripheral neuropathy specific to patients who have diabetes. If left untreated, this can lead to serious and possibly permanent nerve damage.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should seek treatment with a medical professional with experience in diagnosing and treating neuropathy clinician.

Why Does Diabetes Cause Neuropathy?

If your blood glucose levels aren't controlled and have been high for significant period of time, the blood vessels that carry oxygen to your nerves can be damaged. Elevated blood glucose can also damage the sheath that covers and protects the nerves. That leaves them vulnerable to damage. Diabetic neuropathy is just the medical term for the nerve damage caused by elevated blood glucose levels.

What Happens to Your Body Once Those Nerves Are Damaged?

Neuropathy happens when the nervous system is damaged.

If your peripheral nervous system is damaged you can experience:


Numbness in your arms, hands, legs and feet
Inability to feel heat, cold or even pain in your arms, hands, legs and feet
Burning or tingling or even the "pins and needles" feeling you get when your legs or arms "go to sleep"
Changes in the shape of your feet caused by weakened muscles
Carpal tunnel syndrome

If your neuropathy affects your autonomic nervous system, you can experience:


Digestive problems like nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea
Erectile dysfunction
Irregular heart beat
Loss of bladder control
Inability to regulate your blood pressure

How Can You Reduce Your Risk of Diabetic Neuropathy?

The best defense against diabetic neuropathy is to get and keep your blood sugar under control. Your best bet for doing that is proper diet, strictly monitoring your blood sugar levels and always taking your diabetes medication as prescribed by your doctor.

A good diet for controlling your blood sugar includes:


Fresh fruit and vegetables
Lean meats
High fiber
Whole grains
No sweets

Your neuropathy specialist has an exclusive treatment protocol with proven results for diabetic neuropathy patients. An integral part of that treatment protocol is nutrition counseling and diet planning. Your specialist will sit down with you and plan your meals to include the proper portions of each of these categories on a daily basis to make sure that your blood sugar remains as constant as possible.

Assess your current medical situation and take note of any of the symptoms we described. If you are experiencing any of these issues associated with diabetic neuropathy, contact your local neuropathy clinician and take full advantage of their expertise in the treatment of peripheral neuropathies, including diabetic neuropathy.

Why Foot Exams Are Important For Diabetics


Every time I go to the doctor's office, I see a sign with a cartoon on it that says "Be sure to take off your socks and shoes if you're diabetic." I've been asked by family members what that means; here's the answer.

Diabetes can damage nerves. It's called diabetic neuropathy, which means that the nerves don't always feel sensations such as pain when an injury happens. It can do a lot of other things, such as send false pain signals to the brain as well.

That's not the only threat diabetes poses for your feet. The immune system is not as strong and it doesn't fight off infections easily. Clogged arteries occur at an earlier age in diabetics, which can lessen the blood flow to the legs and feet.

Without feeling in the feet, an injury may go unnoticed. These injuries are more prone to infection and they don't heal as quickly. In fact, some wounds can take years to heal. Unfortunately, there are also some that lead to amputations. The earlier these wounds are found and treated, the less likely and amputation will be required.

There are things you can do, as well. Keeping your blood sugar under control is vital. This can prevent further damage to your nerves. You should also check your feet carefully every day. Ask your doctor what you should do if you do get an injury to your feet.

Keeping your skin properly moisturized is important. Cracked, dry skin can let bacteria in and start an infection. Be careful about bath temperatures also. Hot water can dry your skin out, so use warm or cool water only.

You may be told to wear special shoes. I've seen them and I know they look odd, but they help you avoid pressure points that cause calluses. These calluses can turn into ulcers very quickly in a diabetic. If you develop calluses, ask your doctor what to do about them. While caring for them yourself is possible, you may be better off letting a professional deal with them. This is especially important if you have poor eyesight or you have little/no feeling in your feet.

Spinal Decompression for Diabetics


Today, people suffering from diabetic neuropathy may also benefit from spinal decompression. As you may be aware, high blood sugar levels can cause all kinds of peculiar symptoms. In particular, people with diabetes must often deal with chronic pain that comes from the destruction of nerve, bone, and organ tissues. While getting blood sugar under control is a key element to controlling pain, there will also be times when the damage requires some other type of treatment.

Interestingly enough, diabetic neuropathy also includes situations where the blood supply may be cut off to certain parts of the spine, or the cartilage in the spine. This, in turn, can cause swelling that will pinch on a nerve, or create enough pressure to cause a disc to slip out of position. Typically, pain killers and other forms of treatment will not work in these situations. In most cases, if the disc remains out of place, it will cause the surrounding tissue to swell even more. As this unending cycle continues, it will lead to more and more pain, as well as loss of flexibility and mobility.

Aside from not having to worry about postoperative spinal decompression treatments will directly address the mechanical causes of the pain. For example, if there is swelling within a disc, the vacuum pressure created by the traction weights will help relieve it. As the pressure elves are further manipulated, the disc will slip back into an optimal position. Once the muscles and cartilage readjust, you can look forward to complete pain relief.

Anyone that is diabetic can tell you that neuropathy can cause an enormous amount of pain all over the body. On the other hand, if the damaged area happens to be in the spinal column, computer generated traction can help alleviate the situation. At the very least, this form of treatment will not cause blood sugar levels to rise because of infections that may occur at a surgical site.

If you are diabetic and have chronic back pain, sciatica, or pinched nerves, you may want to ask about alternatives to painkillers and chiropractic services. Without a question, if you are already at a risk for developing kidney disease, you will need to find some way to alleviate your pain without taking medication. Today, spinal decompression can offer you a safe, non-invasive way to cure back pain, as well as avoid diabetic complications that tend to occur with other forms of therapy.

Foot Problems in Diabetics


Foot problems in diabetics are mainly no different to those experienced by people without diabetes. The danger though, is that they are often ignored for too long and then cause serious complications.

Most of us don't suspect that something like a common blister caused by new shoes needs a doctor's visit. But a diabetic should take excessive care of that blister and see his healthcare provider if it doesn't heal quickly.

Generally, any calluses, corns, bunions, hammertoes, Planter's warts and ingrown toenails should be carefully cosseted. Any excessive pressure caused by them or put on them could not only be uncomfortable, but could lead to further complications.

Even more severe complications can result from broken skin, simply because any broken skin gives infections the chance to set in and, as most diabetics know, infections can be far more difficult to cure in them than in people who are not diabetic.

Fungal infections of the toes or nails, athletes' foot, blisters, dry, cracked skin or foot ulcers are all dangers which can exacerbate sharply in no time at all. If you have poor circulation in your legs and feet, tissue can die, causing gangrene. Where gangrene occurs, amputations often follow.

Sadly, over half the amputations done due to diabetic negligence, could be avoided if the sufferer in question had only looked after his feet properly.

Another condition common among diabetics is diabetic neuropathy or nerve damage, which can affect your pain threshold. If you don't feel pain and don't check your feet regularly, you may fail to react before severity escalates.

It is gangrene that causes diabetics to need amputations; a really good reason to see a podiatrist from time to time.

Badly controlled diabetes can also result in diabetic neuropathy, which damages the nerves. This affects your ability to feel cuts or sores on your feet or hands and means diabetics often don't

react quickly enough to sores that don't heal. A tingling numbness can be an indicator.

Can diabetic foot problems be prevented?

Check your feet daily for any abnormalities and see your healthcare practitioner if you have any cuts, blisters or cracks that won't heal. Use non-perfumed anti-bacterial cream, moisturising soaps and lotions lavishly to keep skin moisturised and nourished all over your body.

But most of all, remember that foot problems in diabetics are exacerbated by blood-sugar levels that through bad eating habits, are often allowed to rise too high.
