10 Effective Remedies to Cope with Diabetic Nerve Pain

Diabetes can carry a number of complications including neuropathy. This condition is characterized by pain, tingling, and numbness. If your blood sugar remains elevated for a long period of time, nerve problems can result. There are various types of neuropathy depending on what areas of the body are affected and the types of symptoms. Peripheral neuropathy mainly affects the feet and legs.

Autonomic neuropathy is experienced in the digestive system, urinary tract, and the sexual organs. Proximal neuropathy may affect the buttocks or the back of the legs and focal neuropathy can be felt in the torso, head, and leg. Many people take pain medication to deal with neuropathy, but this should not be the main form of treatment. It is important to address the underlying issues and to reduce glucose levels. It is also important to get enough Vitamin D and B Vitamins and to get plenty of rest and exercise.

Taking warm baths and applying creams can also be helpful in reducing the symptoms. Getting in a routine of doing yoga or meditating can relax the body and reduce pain. It can also help you mentally cope with the challenges of dealing with diabetic neuropathy.

1. Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

It is important for anyone with a risk of developing diabetes or people who are already diabetic to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Keeping tabs on your glucose could greatly reduce your risk of developing diabetic neuropathy. Nerve pain is a complication that results from long-term high glucose levels.

Studies have shown that those who keep their hemoglobin A1C reading at 7% or lower have a 60% less risk of developing neuropathy. Those who already suffer from nerve pain may see a reduction of their symptoms if they keep their glucose levels down.
