Diabetics, beware! Tingling in the feet can be a serious illness; here's how to prevent it

Diabetes can be very dangerous if the sugar level is not controlled. It affects everything from the heart to the kidneys. Some patients also experience tingling and numbness in their feet, but people ignore it. 

Ignoring this problem can be dangerous for their health. In medical terms, it is called diabetic neuropathy. Let's learn from experts about this diabetes-related disease, its severity, and how to prevent it.

Diabetic neuropathy is a condition that weakens the nerves. Its effects are felt in the hands and feet. Timely treatment is essential. Recently, a similar case was reported at Kailash Hospital in Noida's Sector 71. 

Former South Sudan Governor, Honorable Juma Ali Malu Nuren, was diagnosed with diabetes and severe knee pain. These conditions were already severely impacting his overall health and daily activities. Investigations revealed that he had diabetic neuropathy.

Dr. Prabhat Kumar, Senior Consultant of Internal Medicine at Kailash Hospital, explains that diabetic neuropathy significantly impairs a person's ability to walk. 

The patient from Sudan also suffered from this problem. Diabetic neuropathy weakened the nerves in his legs. However, he received treatment here. 

With medication and nutritional care, he is now on the mend. The coordination between the doctors and proper treatment resolved the patient's condition.

Dr. Prabhat says that diabetic patients should always keep their sugar levels under control. Because if they lose control, it can be dangerous for their health.
