It can interfere with sleep, mobility, daily function, and quality of life over time. With the right treatment and support, symptoms can be better managed and further nerve damage slowed.

Is Online Diabetic Neuropathy Treatment Right for You?
Doctronic can evaluate adults who are experiencing symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, such as burning, tingling, numbness, or pain in the extremities, particularly those with a confirmed diabetes diagnosis or a history of elevated blood sugar. Our licensed physicians can review your symptom history and current medications to recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
Because diabetic neuropathy is closely tied to blood sugar control and can affect multiple body systems including the peripheral nervous system, cardiovascular system, and bladder, a thorough review of your medical history is important.

Frequently asked questions
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels. It most commonly affects the peripheral nerves in the feet and hands, causing symptoms like burning, tingling, numbness, and sharp pain. Over time it can also affect nerves controlling the heart, bladder, and digestive system.
The most common symptoms include burning or shooting pain, tingling or a pins-and-needles sensation, numbness, and muscle weakness, particularly in the feet and legs. Some people also experience increased sensitivity to touch, loss of balance, or changes in bladder and digestive function as different nerve types become involved.
In most cases, the nerve damage from diabetic neuropathy cannot be fully reversed, but progression can be slowed significantly with tight blood sugar control. Symptoms can often be improved with the right medications and lifestyle changes, allowing many people to maintain a good quality of life.
Diagnosis is based on your symptom history, diabetes history, and a physical or neurological examination. A physician will often assess sensation, reflexes, and foot health. Blood sugar and HbA1c levels are also reviewed to understand how well diabetes has been controlled over time.
Common prescription options include gabapentin (Neurontin) and duloxetine (Cymbalta), both of which are well-studied for neuropathic pain. Tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline (Elavil) and topical options like the lidocaine patch (Lidoderm) are also used. A physician will consider your full medical history before recommending any medication.
Yes, keeping blood sugar as close to target as possible is the most important step in slowing the progression of diabetic neuropathy. Tight glucose management reduces the ongoing damage to nerve fibers and can improve some early symptoms over time.
