Cause #8: Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetes is a very common problem worldwide. It occurs when people are not able to self-regulate their blood sugar levels as we would usually be able to do. It can lead to a range of symptoms which can range from being mild to being potentially fatal. One symptom of diabetes is diabetic neuropathy, which is damage to the nerves.
Nerve damage can limit the patient’s ability to feel and they could even lose sensation altogether. It is often accompanied with sensations such as a tingling or burning feeling that can be very difficult to bear. Diabetic neuropathy can be very difficult to treat, with treatment aimed at helping to relieve symptoms to make the patient as comfortable as possible.
