Diabetics’ numbers continue to rise every year. Recent statistics show that 11% of the total US population has diabetes. This means that every 17 seconds, an American is diagnosed with diabetes.
Diabetes is considered the fastest-growing chronic disease. It is estimated that by 2045 700 million adults will have diabetes globally. These figures contain those also undiagnosed.
Diabetes has its complications, and one of them is diabetic neuropathy. This is a disorder of the nerves as a result of diabetes. The longer you have had diabetes, the more prone you are to developing this diabetes mellitus complication.
Causes of Diabetic Neuropathy
Over time nerve damage can occur due to high blood glucose levels (blood sugar) and high levels of fats, such as triglycerides, in the blood from diabetes. High blood glucose levels may cause damage to the small blood vessels that nourish your nerves with oxygen and nutrients.
but several risk factors make you prone to it. They include:
- Poor control of your blood sugar
- A history of diabetes
- Overweight
- Kidney issues
- Smoking
