The effects of diabetic neuropathy can significantly impact your quality of life, and if not addressed promptly, may result in complications like ulcers, infections, and in severe cases, the need for amputation. Early diagnosis and intervention offers the best chance for controlling symptoms and preventing these more severe problems.
Symptoms of diabetic neuropathy can include numbness, tingling, and/or pain in the hands, feet, or legs. You may also experience problems with your digestive tract, heart, vision, and erectile dysfunction.
If you are experiencing symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, we will often conduct nerve testing and/or imaging studies, such as an electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction study, or MRI. This allows us to rule out other potential causes and provide a proper diagnosis.
Prescription medication for diabetic neuropathy may include anti-seizure medication, antidepressants, pain-relieving medication such as acetaminophen, or topical agents. However, medication is often inefficient in relieving symptoms, or patients discontinue use due to side effects.
There are several steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing diabetic neuropathy. Keeping your blood pressure under control, maintaining a healthy diet, being active every day, and not smoking can all help you feel better overall.
