What Causes Diabetic Neuropathy?

A focused evaluation helps determine which factor is driving your symptoms and what treatment path makes sense next.

  1. Long-term high blood sugar

    primary driver of diabetic nerve damage

  2. Poor blood sugar control

    accelerates nerve deterioration

  3. Diabetes duration

    longer diabetes history increases risk

  4. High blood pressure

    compounds nerve and vessel damage

  5. High cholesterol

    contributes to poor nerve blood supply

  6. Chronic inflammation

    low-grade inflammation damages nerve tissue
