Research Notes on Diabetic Neuropathy


Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes. The word "neuropathy" means nerve disease. Diabetic neuropathy is a condition in which nerves are damaged as a result of high blood sugar levels. Diabetic neuropathy symptoms can range from pain and numbness in the extremities to problems with the digestive system, urinary tract, blood vessels and heart.1

Fast Facts:

  • The most common nerves affected are those of the hands and feet.2
  • Diabetics who smoke and drink alcohol are most likely to develop neuropathy.2
  • About half of all diabetics will eventually develop nerve damage.3
