Diabetes can be painful when blood sugar becomes too high, it is also considered one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. There are different diabetes complications like kidney, feet and eye.
Diabetics suffer from pain because of neuropathy, a type of nerve damage that primarily affects the feet and legs, this pain is making it difficult for you to be physically active.
Diabetic nerve pain usually occurs in peripheral regions or extremities, such as feet and legs, hands and arms. The terms ‘the diabetic foot’ and diabetic feet are related to diabetic nerve pain.
If you have diabetes, you may be all-too-familiar with nerve pain and damage in your feet, legs, and hands, called peripheral neuropathy. Your peripheral nerves serve the farthest reaches – the periphery – of your body.
Diabetes can destroy small blood vessels, which in turn can damage the nervous system, and these damaged nerves can cause unbearable pain. The pain can be found anywhere along their path, from the tip of the toe to the brain.
