Introduction
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur if you have diabetes. High blood sugar can injure nerve fibres throughout your body, but diabetic neuropathy most often damages nerves in your legs and feet. Diabetic neuropathy is a common serious complication of diabetes. Yet you can often prevent diabetic neuropathy or slow its progress with tight blood sugar control and a healthy lifestyle.
Treatment
Good control of diabetes over time is the key to treating diabetic neuropathy. There is no cure for neuropathy, but keeping your blood sugar within a target range can reduce symptoms and prevent them from getting worse. To help control your diabetes, eat food that is good for you and exercise. Controlling diabetes means maintaining blood sugar levels (A1c) within the target range. This will do more than anything else to help prevent diabetic neuropathy from getting worse.
Statistics
In 2010, the China National Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders Study Group and the International Diabetes Federation reported that 93 million Chinese adults have diabetes, comprising 9.7% of the Chinese adult population. It is thought that by 2030, there will be an estimated 500 million diabetics in China.
Research Researchers attribute the recent increase of diabetes to China’s urbanization and westernization, which has led to sedentary life styles and changes in eating habits. There is increased consumption of meats, processed foods, and sweets – deviating from the traditional Chinese diet of vegetables and rice. Studies have also shown that there are more diabetics living in urban versus rural areas.
