When people hear the term “diabetic”, they normally think of a blood sugar imbalance. A shot of insulin, a better diet and things are should OK. Not so fast. What many diabetics don’t realize, there are serious side effects to this disease, which, left untreated, can be debilitating. Over the years I have dealt with dozens of patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy, a numbness in the feet and toes, which can often be traced to diabetes. A podiatric colleague, Dr. Robert Kornfeld, has written a thorough article on how to prevent and in some cases, reverse of the damage of Diabetic Neuropathy. It’s an excellent article for those seeking more information about diabetes.
