As many as 70% of people with diabetes are estimated to have some form of neuropathy, or nerve damage, and pain from the condition is notoriously difficult to treat reports Diabetes Self-Management.
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage that is caused by diabetes. Over time, high blood sugars and high levels of fats, such as triglycerides, in the blood from diabetes can damage your nerves.
Researchers think that over time, uncontrolled high blood sugar damages nerves and interferes with their ability to send signals, leading to diabetic neuropathy. High blood sugar also weakens the walls of the capillaries that supply the nerves with oxygen and nutrients.
Symptoms depend on which type of diabetic neuropathy you have.
Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, can reduce neuropathy pain, improve muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.
