Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetic Neuropathy is characterized by numbness and lack of feeling in the feet. It is a complication of diabetes that affects the nerves that causes this condition. Since diabetic neuropathy can cause a person to lose his or her ability to feel pain, it is possible for a patient to develop minor cuts and sores without realizing it. If left untreated these minor wounds can develop into ulcers and sometimes even lead to amputation. Other results of diabetic neuropathy can be bunions, hammertoe, and Charcot Foot.
