Faculty of Med., United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, UAE Momordica charantia fruit is traditionally used as a vegetable and is known to have hypoglycemic effect in human and experimental diabetes. Ultrastructural observations were made on myelinated fibers in the tibial nerve of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Four groups of male Wistar rats, aged 12 weeks were studied over a period of four months: untreated diabetic rats, diabetic rats treated with M charantia, controls treated with M charantia and age-matched controls. Blood glucose concentrations were significantly reduced in M charantia M charantia treated diabetic animals, these parameters were intermediate between untreated diabetics and age-matched controls without showing significant difference when compared with either group. The axon to fiber ratio ('g'ratio) did not differ between any of the experimental groups. In conclusion, the administration of M charantia fruit juice reduced blood glucose levels and partially corrected the structural abnormalities of peripheral nerves in experimental diabetes.

http://www.diabetesliving.com/comps/neurpthc.htm

Extractions: SOURCE: American Diabetes Association's 59th Scientific Sessions, June 21, 1999 AARON I. VINIK, MD, PhD This session was devoted to a discussion and presentation of the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy and the scope for different forms of intervention. It has become abundantly clear that diabetic neuropathy is not a single disorder but rather, a complex heterogeneous syndrome with a variety of clinical presentations based upon differences in etiologic mechanisms. Diabetic neuropathies can be divided into the focal and diffuse forms, and the latter may be further divided into small and large fiber neuropathies. This distinction is important since the clinical presentation is so varied and the pathogenesis and approaches to treatment are dictated by the underlying pathogenic mechanism. The focal forms of neuropathy are, for the most part, entrapment syndromes or mononeuritides that respond to specific forms of treatment aimed at the pathology. These generally do not behave like the diffuse somatic and autonomic neuropathies, are self-limiting, and in certain instances treatments can be directed at specific targets. For example, nerve entrapments may require splinting, diuretics, or local anesthetic and steroid injection. The situation is quite different in the proximal neuropathies that are often inflammatory conditions, which if recognized will respond to anti-inflammatory or immune therapies. The bain of existence is, however, the distal symmetric polyneuropathies (DSPN).

Extractions: News Release November 7, 2002 Medication that Treats Seizures Might Also Relieve Debilitating Leg Aches in Diabetics ST. LOUIS Patients who have nerve damage in their legs and arms with pain from diabetes may be eligible for a clinical trial at Saint Louis University to test the effectiveness of an investigational medication for pain relief. "Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a chronic and debilitating disorder," says Ghazala Hayat, M.D., associate professor of neurology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and principal investigator for the study. "It affects your quality of life. Patients can wake up with pain and go to bed with pain. They may hurt so badly they can't enjoy life. Many are willing to try anything." Saint Louis University is the only place in St. Louis that is researching whether a medication commonly given to treat seizures can control the pain from diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Typically, antidepressants, "numbing medications" and prescriptions such as OxyContin may be used for pain control. "Trileptal (oxcarbazepine), which is used to treat seizures, has shown some efficacy in treating diabetic neuropathy because it works on the nerve fibers to calm and stabilize them," Dr. Hayat says.

(ATN) Neuropathy Nutrient Therapies
nutrient therapies for HIVrelated neuropathies, there has been a fair amount ofresearch (mostly in other countries) on their use for diabetic neuropathies.
http://www.aegis.com/pubs/atn/1996/atn25009.html

Extractions: Lark Lands Dr. Lands also has had lifelong diabetes, and is an expert on diabetic neuropathy, which has been much better researched than neuropathy caused by HIV. She believes that some (not all) kinds of HIV-related neuropathy may be similar to the diabetic condition, and may respond to some of the same treatments. AIDS TREATMENT NEWS asked Dr. Lands if we could interview her on what has been learned about treating diabetic neuropathy, and how that might apply to HIV. It turned out to be more practical to publish a section of Dr. Lands' new book than to conduct a separate interview. Readers should know that Dr. Lands emphasizes an integrated program of HIV disease management including antivirals and other mainstream medical treatments, nutritional approaches, and other kinds of therapy rather than using nutrition to treat only a specific symptom. Also, her book includes a detailed section on different kinds of HIV neuropathies. Other sections focus in detail on specific nutrients and other therapies, providing much information not included here. Unfortunately the book is not yet available. But readers should know about potential therapies which, although not conclusively proven and not officially approved, are supported by research, and have appeared to be helpful for many people. Patients should talk with their physician before using any therapy, including nutritional treatments. Even if the physician is not familiar with or does not approve of the treatment, he or she may know about specific cautions or contraindications, due to a patient's medical condition.

Extractions: Introduction A global epidemic of diabetes has emerged, largely as a result of increasingly sedentary lifestyles and a rising prevalence of obesity. Neuropathy is one of the most common and troublesome complications of diabetes, and the number of people afflicted is likely to increase steadily as the incidence of diabetes in the developed world rises. Although foot ulceration is the most commonly recognised complication of peripheral neuropathy (Boulton, 2000), neuropathic pain can also occur, causing significant morbidity and impairment in quality of life (Benbow et al, 1998). This article reviews the frequency of chronic painful neuropathy, and provides an update on its recognition and management. Diabetic neuropathy is not a single entity but a heterogeneous group of disorders that encompasses a wide range of abnormalities. One common classification scheme is based on anatomical distribution and includes two main types of diabetic neuropathy: diffuse neuropathies and focal neuropathies (Table 1; Thomas, 1997).

Extractions: Neurometer CPT Technical Report The following is a brief discussion about the use of the Neurometer CPT electrodiagnostic sNCT evaluation for the evaluation of diabetic neuropathy. The sNCT procedure had its origins in the evaluation of diabetic neuropathy patients at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Department of Neurology in 1980. That clinical research led the FDA to grant permission to market the Neurometer CPT device in 1986. Presently, there are more than 275 peer reviewed articles demonstrating clinical utility of the Neurometer CPT evaluation. Approximately 20% of the publications involve the characterization of diabetic neuropathy, including a recent publication appearing in The Lancet The sNCT is the only electrodiagnostic sensory evaluation procedure able to quantify hyperesthesia as well as hypoesthesia. Hyperesthetic conditions reflect inflamed or irritated sensory nerve fibers that have not yet lost their functioning (i.e. become hyperesthetic). Hypoesthesia is associated with a more advanced stage of neuropathy and represents a loss of function. Hyperesthesia occurs before hypoesthesia as peripheral nerve damage progresses. Detection of hyperesthesia permits earlier therapeutic intervention, thereby improving the prognosis, with the potential of limiting more severe damage and reducing the cost of care.

Neuropathy Trust: The Spectrum Of Diabetic Neuropathy
As with other peripheral neuropathies, diabetic neuropathy may involve one nerve(mononeuropathy) or several specific nerves (mononeuritis multiplex).
http://www.neuropathy-trust.org/mainpages/education/dn/page6.htm

Extractions: The spectrum of chronic neuropathy As with other peripheral neuropathies, diabetic neuropathy may involve one nerve (mononeuropathy) or several specific nerves (mononeuritis multiplex). Most commonly, diabetic neuropathy is diffuse affecting many peripheral nerves and is then referred to as polyneuropathy. This polyneuropathy tends to occur in a glove and stocking distribution i.e. involving arms and hands and legs and feet. However in diabetes the lower limbs are most commonly affected. As the neuropathy affects sensory nerves, loss of sensation is a predominant symptom, however many patients may remain asymptomatic throughout. Others may suddenly acquire symptoms at any point throughout their illness but others will have measurable symptoms from the outset. Due to this varied spectrum of expression (figure 1), diagnosis and predicting prognosis for sufferers is imprecise. A staging system (Figure 2) may be useful to provide a framework for the diagnosis and management of diabetic neuropathy. It may also help sufferers to understand how symptoms may change as the disease progresses and what might happen if the signs are ignored. The aim of diabetic management strategies is to detect people at risk early on in the spectrum and aim to prevent, or at least delay progression to the next stage. [Boulton,Gries, Jervell]

http://neuroskinbiopsy.mgh.harvard.edu/smallfiber.htm

Extractions: Rapid progress is being made in this field, which will hopefully lead to better treatments. Some patients with painful small-fiber sensory neuropathies have underlying causes that can be treated. It is important to look for these causes, because treating them may help reverse the nerve damage. In the United States, diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar) is a leading cause of painful neuropathy. Painful diabetic neuropathy can come on in the very earliest stages of diabetes, before any other symptoms of the disease develop and before the diabetes has even been diagnosed. So patients with painful neuropathy should be tested for diabetes. Heavy alcohol drinking can also damage nerves and should be avoided by neuropathy patients. HIV or AIDS can cause neuropathy, as can some of the drugs used to treat HIV.

Extractions: Verify here Diabetic Neuropathy - Complication Of The Nerves If this is what at the top of your mind then this information is for you. According to a recent article published in the current opinion in neurology,one of the most respected neurology journals,there are multiple factors that cause diabetic neuropathy. there is increasing evidence that abnormalities in the pylol pathway,nerve regeneration and the sodium and calcium channels(the systems and processes that are concerned with the transmission of impulses through the nerves)are linked to the development of diabetic neuropathy. There are different types of neuropathies caused in connection with diabetes and the most common among them is peripheral neuropathy.The greatest danger from this type of neuropathy is the development of foot ulcers. Diabetes neuropathy may be of varying severity and severe neuropathy can even result in weakness and loss of balence during walking.The symptoms usually start as changes in sensation in the toes and gradually moves up to involve the foot and then the entire leg.Symptoms range from numbness to cramping and stabbing pain. Autonomic neuropathy: The autonomic nervous system supplies nerve fibres to various parts of the body like the heart,the alimentary tract, sweat glands,urinary bladder and the genitalia. The ANS controls the automatic functions of the body, and autonomic neuropathy might cause distruptions in the blood pressure,sweating mechanism,diabetic diarrhea, and stomach malfunction, called diabetic gastroparesis.

http://www.rxwellnesscenter.com/Neuropathy.asp

Extractions: Peripheral neuropathy is caused by inflammation of the nerves outside the central nervous system. It is commonly associated with diabetes and consists of several clinical types including sensory, motor, automatic and mixed. The most common type is a chronic symmetrical sensory neuropathy (pain associated on opposite sides of the body) affecting the nerves of the lower limbs and often the gastronomic nerves, resulting in pain, skin ulcers and autonomic disturbances (not under voluntary control). There is little research dealing with non-conventional treatment of peripheral neuropathy, other than in diabetic related cases. Several nutrients and herbals have been shown to help diabetic neuropathy including vitamins B6, B12, C, and E. Inositol, magnesium, zinc, quercetin, gingko biloba, and gamma linoleic acid have shown promise as well. Diabetic cases require specific nutritional considerations (see our Diabetes Wellness Center) which must be closely followed for overall long term positive effects.
