nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels in diabetes

Diabetic Neuropathy, also known as Diabetic Nerve Damage, is a type of nerve damage that can occur in people with diabetes. High blood sugar levels over time can injure nerves throughout the body, but diabetic neuropathy most often damages nerves in the legs and feet. Symptoms can include pain, tingling, numbness, and loss of sensation, which can lead to serious complications like foot ulcers and infections.
