About Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPNP)
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPNP) is a common complication of diabetes, affecting the nerves in the legs and feet due to prolonged high blood sugar. It causes burning sensations, tingling, stabbing pain, or numbness in the extremities, which can severely impact daily life. While there is no cure, managing blood sugar and exploring innovative treatments can alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
