What Are Diabetic Neuropathy Symptoms?
Diabetic neuropathy is a group of nerve disorders that can develop in people with diabetes. The word “neuropathy” means nerve damage, and these disorders develop because chronic high blood sugar causes damage to nerve tissue. Diabetic neuropathy symptoms are caused by this nerve damage, and they can include eye damage, numbness of the hands or feet and urinary incontinence. Between 60 percent and 70 percent of people with diabetes have diabetic neuropathy symptoms.
