As type 2 diabetes, neuropathy or nerve diseases, may be unnoticed as the symptoms are gradual.



Generally occurs in diabetics over 40 years and who have the blood sugar control poor. It has been found to affect approximately 60% of all diabetic diagnosis and often cause infections and amputations of the foot.



Generally appears after 10 years or more of blood sugar levels high and occurs in both diabetics of type 1 and 2. Can be cured, however, simply of blood glucose control, making the contraction of the disease first totally avoidable.



Taller people are more susceptible to the disease as they have more nerve fibers and drink (alcohol) can make things worse.



There are a number of symptoms to be aware of. The most evident between the inability of any feeling in your feet.



In this case you need to use your eyes to check your feet, because once the sensation is lost, you can fit on a broken piece of glass, for example, and not feel any pain.



Actually the most common problem is foot ulcers. In non-diabetics, no pressure on the sole of the foot will show itself with pain. Diabetic neuropathy means that this pain is not felt by the patient, and after some time, the skin begins to harden in the area being pressurized. Over time this turns into a callus, which eventually forms an ulcer.



You can to go unnoticed, and the problem is that as the spread of canker, which for the moment is found; the only cure possible amputation.



The best way to avoid the disease neuropathic foot is to follow the usual procedures for diabetes:



-Keep blood glucose under control



-Seek treatment if you suffer from hypertension



-Exercise. Bad cholesterol clogs arteries and exercise helps stimulate the body to produce new blood vessels, in addition to reducing bad cholesterol.



-Smoking. Smoking is major cause of peripheral arterial disease, which affects the feet first. Consider giving it up.
