DIABETIC NEUROPATHY:
Nervous system is severely affected due to diabetes and neuropathy occurs after few years if diabetes is not controlled.
How does diabetes neuropathy work? To understand this, we must first understand the NERVOUS SYSTEM. The nervous system controls the actions of our body. We divide it into two parts.
.CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD
and Peripheral Nervous System PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nerves that reach our muscles and skin from the spinal cord are called the peripheral nervous system and this is the most affected by sugar.
The nervous system sends signals throughout the body and controls our daily activities, such as walking, eating and drinking. The nervous system is made up of special types of cells called neurons. Signals travel rapidly from one neuron to another neuron, for example, when we are pricked by a thorn, the signal reaches the brain from the neuron and we withdraw our hands. Then the signals from the brain reach the muscles and we move. There are three parts of the neuron, one part is called the axon, and sugar damages it, and the blood supply that goes to the nerves starts to become narrow without giving oxygen. Yes, this NERVE is also damaged. AXON is like a wire which conducts impulses. When it is damaged, the symptoms of neuropathy begin to appear in patients.
First of all, the foot sensation starts to disappear. If the patient is pricked by a thorn or has a wound, he does not feel it and the wound becomes deep and takes the form of an ulcer. If so, nerve damage starts in both hands. The patient feels as if needles are pricking his hands or feet, or ants are moving, or there are signs of severe pain, or severe burning sensation on the hands and feet. Is.
If you have symptoms of neuropathy like pain, burning, etc., due to sugar, you should control it and strictly control your sugar because no cure for neuropathy has been discovered yet.
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM is also severely affected by Diabetes , which affects blood pressure, bladder, heart rate and digestive system.
