DPN

DPN, or Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, is a condition that affects the nerves in the extremities, especially the feet and legs, due to long-term high blood sugar levels. This nerve damage can cause symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or weakness. Over time, it may lead to difficulties in sensing injuries, increasing the risk of infections or ulcers. Managing blood sugar levels and practicing good foot care are key to preventing or slowing its progression. DPN is common among people with diabetes and emphasizes the importance of regular medical check-ups to monitor nerve health.
