Diabetic Neuropathy Explained

Diabetes Tips – Cash for Diabetic Test Strips: Diabetes has many common side effects that must be watched for. When you test yourself with a monitor and diabetic test strips you’re doing more than just watching your numbers. It reflects your general health and gives you an early signal for these other side effects and complications.

Diabetic neuropathy is the term used to describe nerve damage that can occur when diabetics maintain high levels of sugars in the blood. High blood sugar is a definite contributor to the damaged nerves common to many diabetics. The higher your blood sugar levels the more likely you are to experience nerve damage.

There are three different types of diabetic neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy causes the out nerves to become devoid of feeling. Touch, hot, cold, and pain can become literally impossible to feel. The feet and lower legs are the most common areas in which this occurs.

Autonomic nerves affect your automatic systems. Sweat, digestion, heartbeat, urinating, blood pressure, and even sex are operated by these nerves and damage can cause these systems to malfunction. Focal neuropathy is the type that affects just one nerve at a time. Any nerve in your body can suddenly stop functioning in this case. The thigh, wrist, foot, chest, or back are common areas in which this can occur.

The length of time that you have been diabetic, the intensity with which it affects your body, and how well you care for yourself will determine how likely you are to get diabetic neuropathy. Approximately 50% of diabetics are affected by it as the disease progresses.

Symptoms are many, and if you believe you are losing feeling in any part of your body, contact your health care practitioner and discuss it. You may experience digestive discomfort like bloating, vomiting, or diarrhea. Difficulty in regulating your inner body temperature may be a sign. If you sweat when you eat or are sleeping or if you fail to sweat, contact your physician.

Urinary trouble, sexual problems including vaginal dryness and erectile dysfunction, circulation issues including dizziness or fainting are possible symptoms. You may even have trouble noticing that your blood sugar is down. This is why it is always important to monitor your blood sugar carefully.

Be sure to use the correct test strips for the monitor you use, and the strips should be from a fresh pack, never outdated. If you have trouble affording the test strips, you can buy excess strips that have been purchased from those that no longer need them.
