    Extractions: diabetes and nerve damage Advertisement On this page: D iabetic neuropathies are a family of nerve disorders caused by diabetes. People with diabetes can, over time, have damage to nerves throughout the body. Neuropathies lead to numbness and sometimes pain and weakness in the hands, arms, feet, and legs. Problems may also occur in every organ system, including the digestive tract, heart, and sex organs. People with diabetes can develop nerve problems at any time, but the longer a person has diabetes, the greater the risk. An estimated 50 percent of those with diabetes have some form of neuropathy, but not all with neuropathy have symptoms. The highest rates of neuropathy are among people who have had the disease for at least 25 years. Diabetic neuropathy also appears to be more common in people who have had problems controlling their blood glucose levels, in those with high levels of blood fat and blood pressure, in overweight people, and in people over the age of 40. The most common type is peripheral neuropathy, also called distal symmetric neuropathy, which affects the arms and legs. Top The causes are probably different for different varieties of diabetic neuropathy. Researchers are studying the effect of glucose on nerves to find out exactly how prolonged exposure to high glucose causes neuropathy. Nerve damage is likely due to a combination of factors:

They were all undetected foreign objects found in the shoes of people with diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a nerve disorder most commonly caused by the high levels of sugar in the blood. It represents the most common complication of diabetes. It is also the major contributor of the triad of diabetic neuropathy, Peripheral Vascular Disease and infection, which are the primary causes of all chronic foot diabetic ulceration that can lead to amputation. In fact in over 20 years in private practice I can not ever recall seeing a severe diabetic foot ulcer without diabetic neuropathy being present. As such they represent an ongoing health problem to the public of major importance. The most common form of diabetic neuropathy seen is known as "distal symmetrical polyneuropathy." In layman's terms this means the nerves affected are the far reaching nerves seen in the hands and feet, normally on both right and left sides

These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.

    Extractions: Introduction Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is the most common and troublesome complication of diabetes mellitus, leading to the greatest morbidity and mortality and resulting in a huge economic burden for diabetes care(1;2). It is the most common form of neuropathy in the developed countries of the world, accounts for more hospitalizations than all the other diabetic complications combined, and is responsible for 50-75% of non-traumatic amputations (2;3). DN is a set of clinical syndromes that affect distinct regions of the nervous system, singly or combined. It may be silent and go undetected, while exercising its ravages, or it may present with clinical symptoms and signs that although nonspecific and insidious with slow progression but also mimic those seen in many other diseases. It is, therefore, diagnosed by exclusion. Classification DN is not a single entity but a number of different syndromes, ranging from subclinical to clinical manifestations depending on the classes of nerve fibers involved. According to the San Antonio Convention (10), the main groups of neurologic disturbance in diabetes mellitus include: 1) subclinical neuropathy, determined by abnormalities in electrodiagnostic and quantitative sensory testing, 2) diffuse clinical neuropathy with distal symmetric sensorimotor and autonomic syndromes, and 3) focal syndromes.

    Extractions: Diabetic neuropathy is a nerve disorder caused by diabetes. Symptoms of neuropathy include numbness and sometimes pain in the hands, feet, or legs. Nerve damage caused by diabetes can also lead to problems with internal organs such as the digestive tract, heart, and sexual organs, causing indigestion, diarrhea or constipation, dizziness, bladder infections, and impotence. In some cases, neuropathy can flare up suddenly, causing weakness and weight loss. Depression may follow. While some treatments are available, a great deal of research is still needed to understand how diabetes affects the nerves and to find more effective treatments for this complication.

    Extractions: The Prevention and Treatment of Complications of Diabetes Mellitus: A Guide for Primary Care Practitioners Neuropathy Background Persons with diabetes who develop neuropathy may have no symptoms or may experience pain, sensory loss, weakness, and autonomic dysfunction. Neuropathy may result in significant morbidity and may contribute to other major complications, such as lower extremity amputation. There are three major types of diabetic neuropathy: Distal symmetrical polyneuropathy. This most common of the diabetic neuropathies is characterized by insidious onset, symmetrical distribution, and progressive course. Although its cause is unclear, distal symmetrical polyneuropathy is believed to result from abnormal neural metabolism, generalized neural ischemia, or both. The onset and course of illness cannot be predicted for an individual patient, but increasing age, male sex, increasing height, longer duration of diabetes, poorer glucose control, hypertension, alcohol consumption, and smoking may be independent risk factors.

    Extractions: For Diabetes, Atherosclerosis And Aging One of the most damaging complications of diabetes is nerve damage at various sites of the body, which inactivates and weakens muscles, can be extremely painful, and can cause blindness when the retina of the eye is attacked (diabetic retinopathy). Alpha lipoic acid has been shown to be highly effective in treating such neuropathies. The clinical benefits of alpha lipoic acid in diabetics was discovered by Beck and Schneeweiss in 1959. There have been a half dozen or so studies since then confirming these results. In a placebo controlled, double blind study, 20 diabetics were given intravenous infusions of 200 mg a day of alpha lipoic acid or placebo for 21 days. The results showed dramatic improvement in some clinical symptoms in some of the experimental subjects. For example, before being treated with alpha lipoic acid, four patients had severe pain and six patients had moderate pain. After treatment, five of the patients had no pain, four had moderate pain, and only one had severe pain. In a longer single blind study, alpha lipoic acid was compared to vitamin B1 as a treatment for diabetic neuropathy. In this study, 600 mg/day of alpha lipoic acid or 400 mg mg/day of vitamin B1 were administered intravenously and intramuscularly, respectively, to diabetics for 3 weeks, followed by 12 weeks of oral administration of the same doses.
