Sciatica from DiabetesWhat is Sciatica from Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease which results in the inability to correctly regulate and process the amount of sugar in the blood. There are various types of diabetic conditions and each has its own particular affective issues. Excessive blood sugar is known to attack the structural integrity of nerve fibers and the smallest nerves are those typically affected first, especially those at distance from the central nervous system. This makes the nerves in the hands and the feet most susceptible to diabetic symptoms, such as
weakness,
tingling
and
numbness.
Some types of diabetes are preventable, making this an even bigger shame to endure, since the lifestyle choices most patients have made are the direct reason why they are now suffering.
Sciatica from Diabetes SymptomsSciatica symptoms due to diabetes rarely involve pain, but may in some instances. In fact, most patients develop a progressive numbness and associated weakness or tingling in the feet and lower legs. Some patients develop similar symptomatic patterns in the hands and lower arms. However, diabetes can affect virtually any nerve in the body…Sciatica is kind compared to some truly serious neuropathy conditions, such as those which may affect the vision, the central nervous system or the functionality of internal organs. It is these types of nerve dysfunction which can lead to blindness, disability or even death. Sciatica from Diabetes AdviceSome diabetic conditions can be easily managed or even reversed. Others, unfortunately, can not. Adult diabetes brought on by weight issues, lack of activity and poor diet are the most common of all conditions leading to nerve damage in the lower anatomy. Patients often feel victimized by their own bodies, but seldom take responsibility for their part in causing these terrible symptoms. The result is a catastrophe for the insurance industry, the healthcare sector and a gigantic burden on society as a whole…If you have been experiencing tingling, weakness or numbness in your feet or hands and are overweight or inactive, I highly recommend seeking testing to determine if you may be diabetic. Once confirmed, you may be able to reverse the condition before it can damage your body irreparably. Just do not wait, since time is precious when it comes to delicate nerves and every day can count in the long run! Sciatica from Diabetes to Sciatica 3/23/10 Revised 7/23/11 |
