When you have diabetes, nerve damage can occur as a result of high blood sugar. This is known as diabetic neuropathy. There are four main types of this condition. You may have just one type or symptoms of several types. Most types of diabetic neuropathy develop gradually, and you may not notice problems until considerable damage has occurred.
Talk with your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms. The sooner they can be diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of preventing further complications.
