although other presentations are possible. While pain is not always present in this condition, it occurs frequently enough to make it the primary reason patients seek care. Nerve damage resulting from impaired
The pain, tingling, and burning sensations in the feet associated with diabetic neuropathy are involved with a form of the disorder known as diabetic peripheral neuropathy. There are other types of diabetic neuropathy, including proximal neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and focal neuropathy....
Because of a length-dependent dying back process, the symptoms of diabetic polyneuropathy, such as numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness, begin in the feet before the fingers are involved4,15. Diabetic polyneuropathy could be related to the length of a nerve’s axon, so it is initiated in ...
