Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur if you have diabetes.
High blood sugar (glucose) can injure nerves throughout your body. Diabetic neuropathy most often damages nerves in your legs and feet.
The condition most often affects the legs and feet. For some people, symptoms are mild. For others, symptoms can be painful, debilitating and even fatal.
Symptoms include pain and numbness in the legs. In more severe cases, symptoms include issues with digestion, the bladder and controlling heart rate.
Treatment includes managing blood sugar and using medication to control symptoms.
Many people heal their diabetic neuropathy by covering it up with meds like Gabapentin or Lyrica.
Gabapentin, sold under the brand name Neurontin among others, is an anticonvulsant medication primarily used to treat partial seizures and neuropathic pain.
It is a first-line medication for the treatment of neuropathic pain caused by diabetic neuropathy.
Pregabalin, sold under the brand name Lyrica among others, is an anticonvulsant and anxiolytic medication used to treat neuropathic pain.
