Diabetic neuropathy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Diabetic neuropathies are neuropathic disorders that are associated with diabetes mellitus . These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves ( vasa nervorum ). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy mononeuropathy ; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy ; a painful polyneuropathy; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.

What Is Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is a nerve disorder caused by diabetes. Symptoms of neuropathy include numbness and sometimes pain in the hands, feet, or legs. Nerve damage caused by diabetes can also lead to problems with internal organs such as the digestive tract, heart, and sexual organs causing indigestion, diarrhea or constipation, dizziness, bladder infections, and impotence. In some cases, neuropathy can flare up suddenly, causing weakness and weight loss. Depression may follow. While some treatments are available, a great deal of research is still needed to understand how diabetes affects the nerves and to find more effective treatments for this complication.
DCCT: Can Diabetic Neuropathy Be Prevented?
How Common Is Diabetic Neuropathy?
People with diabetes can develop nerve problems at any time. Significant clinical neuropathy can develop within the first 10 years after diagnosis of diabetes and the risk of developing neuropathy increases the longer a person has diabetes. Some recent studies have reported that:
  • 60 percent of patients with diabetes have some form of neuropathy, but in most cases (30 to 40 percent), there are no symptoms.

Diabetic neuropathy
Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition:
A common complication of diabetes mellitus in which nerves are damaged as a result of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels).
Alternative Names: Nerve damage - diabetic
Causes, incidence, and risk factors: People with diabetes commonly develop temporary or permanent damage to nerve tissue. Nerve injuries are caused by decreased blood flow and high blood-sugar levels , and are more likely to develop if blood-glucose levels are poorly controlled. Some diabetics will not develop nerve damage, while others may develop this condition relatively early. On average, the onset of symptoms occurs 10 to 20 years after diabetes has been diagnosed. Approximately 50% of people with diabetes will eventually develop nerve damage.
Peripheral
nerve injuries may affect cranial nerves or nerves from the spinal column and their branches. This type of neuropathy (nerve injury) tends to develop in stages. Early on, intermittent pain and tingling is noted in the extremities, particularly the feet. In later stages, the pain is more intense and constant. Finally, a painless neuropathy develops when pain sensation is lost to an area. This greatly increases the risk of severe tissue injury because pain no longer alerts the person to injury.

Neuropathies are among the most common of all the long-term complications of diabetes, affecting up to 50% of patients. (1-5) There are many subgroups of neuropathies; readers are referred to recent reviews for discussion of the autonomic neuropathies (6) and the mononeuropathies. (7) This article will focus on the most common of all the peripheral neuropathies: the somatic neuropathies affecting the lower extremities. Detailed discussions of all aspects of these neuropathies were recently published as a technical review (5) and will be included in a forthcoming American Diabetes Association statement.

THE INFLUENCE OF MOMORDICA CHARANTIA FRUIT JUICE ON PERIPHERAL NERVE STRUCTURE IN EXPERIMENTAL DIABETES Ahmed I. , Sharma A.K., Samad P.A. Faculty of Med., United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, UAE Momordica charantia fruit is traditionally used as a vegetable and is known to have hypoglycemic effect in human and experimental diabetes. Ultrastructural observations were made on myelinated fibers in the tibial nerve of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Four groups of male Wistar rats, aged 12 weeks were studied over a period of four months: untreated diabetic rats, diabetic rats treated with M charantia, controls treated with M charantia and age-matched controls. Blood glucose concentrations were significantly reduced in M charantia M charantia treated diabetic animals, these parameters were intermediate between untreated diabetics and age-matched controls without showing significant difference when compared with either group. The axon to fiber ratio ('g'ratio) did not differ between any of the experimental groups. In conclusion, the administration of M charantia fruit juice reduced blood glucose levels and partially corrected the structural abnormalities of peripheral nerves in experimental diabetes.

Thank goodness we joined a health club that had a stress test as part of the registration. I was in surgery within 4 days of failing that test. Who would have thought it? I was in my 40's, exercised everyday, and was the "diabetes poster woman." There are treatments and we will bring some research to you in this article, but much research is needed to understand just how diabetes affects the nerves and to find better and more effective treatment for this complication. People with diabetes can develop nerve problems at any time. Significant neuropathy can develop within the first 10 years after diagnosis and the risk increases the longer you have diabetes. Research indicates that 60% of people with diabetes have some form of neuropathy, but in 30-40% there are no symptoms. Thirty to forty percent of people with diabetes have symptoms compared to 10% of those without diabetes, Neuropathy is more common in smokers, people over 40 years of age, and people who have difficulty controlling blood glucose levels. The DCCT showed us that after 5 years the risk of diabetic neurology decreased 60% for those in the intensively managed group.

    General Health Information
    Peripheral neuropathy is caused by inflammation of the nerves outside the central nervous system. It is commonly associated with diabetes and consists of several clinical types including sensory, motor, automatic and mixed. The most common type is a chronic symmetrical sensory neuropathy (pain associated on opposite sides of the body) affecting the nerves of the lower limbs and often the gastronomic nerves, resulting in pain, skin ulcers and autonomic disturbances (not under voluntary control). There is little research dealing with non-conventional treatment of peripheral neuropathy, other than in diabetic related cases. Several nutrients and herbals have been shown to help diabetic neuropathy including vitamins B6, B12, C, and E. Inositol, magnesium, zinc, quercetin, gingko biloba, and gamma linoleic acid have shown promise as well. Diabetic cases require specific nutritional considerations (see our Diabetes Wellness Center) which must be closely followed for overall long term positive effects.

    On this page:
    What is peripheral neuropathy?
    P eripheral neuropathy describes damage to the peripheral nervous system, the vast communications network that transmits information from the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) to every other part of the body. Peripheral nerves also send sensory information back to the brain and spinal cord, such as a message that the feet are cold or a finger is burned. Damage to the peripheral nervous system interferes with these vital connections. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral neuropathy distorts and sometimes interrupts messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Because every peripheral nerve has a highly specialized function in a specific part of the body, a wide array of symptoms can occur when nerves are damaged. Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and pricking sensations (paresthesia), sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness. Others may suffer more extreme symptoms, including burning pain (especially at night), muscle wasting, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction. People may become unable to digest food easily, maintain safe levels of blood pressure, sweat normally, or experience normal sexual function. In the most extreme cases, breathing may become difficult or organ failure may occur.
