Do you feel pain in your arms, legs, and feet?
Understanding Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic Neuropathy is a common complication of Diabetes, affecting up to half of all diabetic patients.
High levels of glucose in the blood can injure nerves throughout the body, with the legs and feet most often damaged.
This nerve damage can lead to debilitating pain and numbness in the legs, feet, and hands. Patients may also experience issues with their digestive system, urinary tract, blood vessels, and heart.
The severity of symptoms can vary from mild to severe.
Causes and Risk Factors of DPN Pain
While the exact cause of each type of neuropathy is still under investigation, it's believed that uncontrolled high blood sugar damages nerves.
High blood sugar also weakens the walls of vessels supplying nerves with nutrients and oxygen, contributing to nerve damage.

Types of Multiple Sclerosis
Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS)
Relapsing-Remitting
MS (RRMS)
Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS)
Primary Progressive
MS (PPMS)
A first episode of symptoms lasting at least 24 hours,
indicating potential MS development.
Characterized by episodes of
new symptoms followed by periods of remission. Approximately 85% of MS diagnoses are RRMS.
A progression from RRMS,
where symptoms worsen over time, with or without active relapses.
From the onset, symptoms gradually worsen without
early relapses or remissions, affecting about 15% of MS patients.
Recognizing the Symptoms
The journey through Alzheimer's begins with memory lapses, especially in learning new information, as this disease initially impacts the brain's learning center. As Alzheimer's progresses, individuals may experience:
Deepening confusion about time, events, and places
Disorientation
Mood and behavior changes
Unfounded suspicion towards close ones and caregivers
Challenges with speaking, swallowing, and walking
Advanced memory loss and behaviorial shifts
Diabetic Neuropathy
by the Numbers
01
Approximately 20 million Americans are affected by diabetic neuropathy
02
50% of all Diabetes patients develop some form of neuropathy in their lifetime
03
Nearly 50% of patients with DPN pain report inadequate pain management options
04
The direct & indirect costs associated with diabetic neuropathy in the US exceeds $10 billion annually

Recognizing the Symptoms
Diabetic neuropathy can manifest in four different types, with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy being the most common. This condition, also known as distal symmetric peripheral neuropathy, primarily affects the feet and legs, and then the hands and arms.
Symptoms often worsen at night and include:
Extreme sensitivity to touch
Tingling
Pain & Cramps
Muscle Weakness
Foot Complications: infections, ulcers, & bone & joint damage
Numbness or reduced ability to feel
temperature changes & pain
Causes
Risk Factors
Any diabetic patient can develop neuropathy, but certain factors increase the risk of nerve damage:
- Uncontrolled blood sugar
- History of diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Body Mass Index over 25
- Smoking
Neuropathy can be debilitating and life-changing. Researchers are working to find new ways to improve symptom management and quality of life for those affected.
