Diabetic neuropathy is one of the common complications of diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy occurs in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The risk of occurrence depends on the duration of diabetes and the metabolic state. The longer diabetes exists and the more unfavorable the blood sugar level, the higher the risk of developing diabetic neuropathy. The first symptoms are often paresthesia in the feet. This initially damages the smallest nerves in the feet. In the worst case, wounds that heal poorly can also occur. In this case, it is referred to as diabetic foot syndrome. Neuropathy and diabetic foot is a video from the Diabetes - Not just a question of type initiative. With this initiative, the German Diabetes Center (DDZ), with the support of the Federal Ministry of Health, wants to raise awareness of diabetes. You can find more films and information about the initiative on the websites http://diabetes-typ.de and https://diabetesinformationsdienst.de...
