Diabetic neuropathy is a nerve disorder associated with diabetes. As a result of diabetic neuropathy, axonal damage decreases nerve action potential , thereby inhibiting neuronal signal transmission. Diabetic neuropathy is characterized by progressive damage to the myelin sheath, which slows down nerve conduction velocity. About 60-70 percent of diabetic patients develop neuropathy, with a considerable number of patients remaining undiagnosed during the initial years of progression. Hence, disease management should start with the initial diagnosis of diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy treatment involves lowering blood glucose levels (keeping it within the normal range) to prevent further nerve damage and treatment to provide symptomatic relief. Alternative therapies, which help in managing pain, such as biofeedback, meditation, acupuncture, or other relaxation techniques, can also be used to provide relief to patients.
