Diabetes Getting On Your Nerves?

A majority of people who suffer from diabetes are affected by type 2 diabetes. Diabetes occurs when your body either ignores insulin or your pancreas won’t create enough insulin. This can trigger multiple health problems.

The onset of type 2 diabetes can be delayed, possibly even prevented, with a healthy lifestyle. If left unchecked, diabetes can lead to serious health problems which include kidney failure, heart disease, circulatory problems and nerve damage, just to name a few.

Once diabetes starts affecting the nerves (also known as neuropathy), individuals may experience one or more of these symptoms:

  • Loss of muscle control and sensation
  • Numbness, tingling, burning or pain in toes, feet, legs, hands and fingers
  • Sharp cramps
  • Extreme sensitivity to touch
  • Loss of balance or coordination

Losing sensation can be a dangerous situation for some diabetics because small cuts and bruises go undetected, which can trigger infections that can spread to the bone due to a weakened immune system.

In these situations, a physical therapist can help reduce the risk of injury, regain muscle control and improve the quality of life.

Can It Be Treated?

Unfortunately, there is no 'cure' for diabetic neuropathy. Most treatments focus on slowing the progression of the neuropathy by controlling blood sugar using lifetyle modification techniques. Physical therapy is crucial since regular exercise plays a big role in the management of diabetic neuropathy.

The management of diabetes requires self-discipline and regular monitoring of one's glucose levels. In addition to maintaining a healthy weight and controlling blood sugar, it's important to exercise regularly, control blood pressure (take all your prescribed medication at the right time), quit smoking and minimize alcohol.

If you suspect that you, or a loved one, might have diabetic neuropathy, call our office and we will guide you towards your next step.

Physical Therapy and Diabetic Neuropathy

Your physical therapist plays an important role in controlling your diabetes and the damage it can cause with a structured exercise and injury prevention program.

The process starts with an evaluation to determine the extent of damage to your nervous system.  We then assess the loss of protective sensations and the balance issues that also accompany this condition.  Luckily at our facilities we have a cutting edge treatment called the Anodyne Therapy that helps reduce the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy and helps reduce the burning and tingling in the feet and hands.  This treatment combined with the right exercises and training is crucial  This makes the physical therapist a critical component of your healthcare team and your biggest ally in the battle against diabetic neuropathy. Be sure to talk to one of our skilled physical therapists to find out what physical therapy can do for you.
