Ayurvedic Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy
About Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is a disorder of peripheral nerves caused by uncontrolled sugar levels for a few years. The most common types of diabetic neuropathy result in problems with sensation in feet. The loss of sensation is not sudden but the initial symptoms may be numbness, pain or tingling in the feet or lower legs. Sometimes the pain can be very intense and need pain-relieving treatment also to ease the discomfort. The loss of sensation in feet may also increase the possibility of foot injuries which can go unseen and develop into ulcers. Regular examination of feet is thereby recommended for all people who suffer from diabetes and whose sugar levels are not under control. In some cases, diabetic neuropathy can be associated with difficulty in walking and some weakness in the foot muscles. There are other types of diabetes-related neuropathies that affect specific parts of the body. For example, diabetic amyotrophy causes pain, weakness, and stiffness of the thigh muscles, or cranial nerve infarcts that may result in double vision, a drooping eyelid, or dizziness.
