• Neuropathy is a complicated disease that can
  literally ruin the life of the patient. People
  with diabetes need to recognize these symptoms
  earlier so that they can properly be treated.
  Once they notice that something is wrong they
  need to schedule an appointment with a
  neurologist who can check and establish if there
  is something wrong with the nerves. If you are
  looking for a naturopath clinic in torontolook no

• Diabetic neuropathy affects people who suffer
  from diabetes type 2, which is the type of
  diabetes that requires patients to take insulin.
  Wonder why? The diabetes is a disease that if it
  is not treated properly can cause a serious
  damage to the nerves of the body. When the nerves
  are damaged, the patient will start feeling
  numbness and loss of sensation in their feet or
  hands. This is the first symptom of neuropathy
  that can develop further and become more
  complicated by spreading through the whole body.

• Poor control of the blood sugar level is the
  main cause of neuropathy because if the disease
  is detected on time it will properly be treated
  which will then reduce the risk of developing
  neuropathy. Most of the people who suffer from
  diabetes have extra weight which brings other
  diseases with it such as high blood pressure.
  People who smoke or drink alcohol have bigger
  chance of developing neuropathy.

• Most of the patients complained that the first
  symptom they had was numbness and a burning
  sensation on the feet or hands. And because of
  this terrible symptom, patients have a feeling
  that they are losing balance. The feelings are
  very unpleasant that will make the patient feel
  very bad. Most of the times people get depressed
  because they feel desperate thinking that there
  is no cure.

• At first patients feel discomfort, but when the
  disease develops, the pain will spread to the
  whole body which also includes the head. There is
  sensory and acute neuropathy. The difference
  between them is that the acute occurs suddenly
  without any symptoms and most of the times
  patients end up surprised because before that
  they thought they were perfectly healthy. The
  sensory neuropathy occurs slowly and it take a
  lot of time to develop. It happens to patients
  who suffer from diabetes and did not discover it
  on time.

• What do doctors recommend in this case? It is
  very important to keep the feet always clean and
  to only wear comfortable socks made of cotton.
  High heels should completely be taken off the
  list and only wear comfortable shoes that do not
  make the feet sweat. Patients must also be
  treated with analgesics in order to prevent the
  pain. When the patient loses the sensation, the
  pain is inevitable because the muscle will
  weaken. Taking analgesics on time will stop the
  pain and the patient will feel better.
