Diabetic Neuropathy

What is it?
Patients with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes often struggle with a form of diabetic neuropathy
Distal symmetric polyneuropathy, which is the condition most people refer to as “diabetic neuropathy”, patients can experience tingling and loss of feeling in the hands and feet, which progresses to muscular atrophy if severe
Autonomic neuropathy, which can cause bowel and bladder incontinence
Thoracic and lumbar nerve root disease, causing polyradiculopathies
Individual cranial and peripheral nerve involvement causing focal mononeuropathies, especially affecting the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) and the median nerve
Asymmetric involvement of multiple peripheral nerves, resulting in a mononeuropathy multiplex
