Neuropathic pain is a neurological disorder that presents itself as intense chronic pain, due to the fact that there is damage to a nerve.

Damage to the nerve sheaths means that the transmission of information between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body is impaired.

The most well-known consequence of diabetes-related nerve damage is diabetic foot syndrome. This is caused by small wounds on the feet, which are often not noticed due to a lack of sensitivity. Symptoms of nerve damage appear insidious, can turn out very differently, and are dependent on the nerves af...
