Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a painful condition that often affects the nerves in the feet and legs. When blood sugar gets too high, the nerves in your body can become injured causing diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy include pain or numbness in the legs, feet, or hands, digestive issues, cramps or muscle weakness, and sensitivity to touch. If your pain persists after optimization by your diabetes doctor, you should request a consult with a specialist at ECPC.  Treatment ranges from medication optimization to implantable devices.  To learn treatment options and next steps, contact your local ECPC location.
