Diabetic Neuropathy | Dr. Swati Sharma | Manipal Hospital Malleshwaram

Long-term diabetes (20+ years) can lead to Diabetic Neuropathy, a condition marked by tingling, numbness in the upper and lower limbs, often persisting at night, along with weakness and a risk of foot ulceration. Dr. Swati Sharma, Consultant – Neurology at Manipal Hospital Malleshwaram, explains that diagnosis typically involves a medical examination followed by a Nerve Conduction Test (NCT) to evaluate nerve damage. Treatment options may include oral medications or IVIG therapy for cases involving demyelination. The best way to prevent neuropathy is by maintaining proper blood sugar control and taking essential vitamins along with diabetic medications.
