Dear {FirstName}, Do you ever get pain and numbness in the hands, feet and face? Ahh, not a big deal, right? If you think so then think again ... You might be developing early symptoms of neuropathies, or peripheral neuropathies. The word 'peripheral' means nerves distant from the brain and spinal cord. 'Neuro' means nerves, and 'pathy' means abnormal. Peripheral neuropathies is a disease of the nerves that causes pain or numbness (also known as pins and needles) in the extremities. It occurs when nerves start to malfunction, and don't communicate with your brain and spinal cord the way they should. Diabetics Are Especially at Risk! Naturopathies is a disease of the nerves and Diabetes Forecast reports that "an estimated 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes have neuropathy." A 1993 study, the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), found that tight control cut the risk of neuropathy by 60 percent. But even after nerves become damaged, improving blood glucose control may be able to relieve symptoms in many people. The study suggested that exercise can help for some people yet caution and medical supervision is needed as some workouts may be dangerous for people with neuropathy. What Causes Neuropathies? The cause of neuropathies is not yet thoroughly understood. Some experts believe that glucose causes damage to the blood vessels that supply nerves with nourishment. Others suspect that glucose itself interferes with chemical signalling of the nerves. Kenneth S. Hershon, director of research at North Shore Diabetes and Endocrine Associates, New Hyde Park, N.Y., indicates that "A possible theory may be that, when the glucose level in the blood is high for a length of time, the build-up of glucose or its metabolites in the actual cells is also high. These high sugar levels and their metabolites may become toxic to the nerves over time." Prevention is Better than Cure! Peripheral neuropathies needs to be taken seriously. A temporary tingling or numbing sensation in your feet or hands may not bother you much but the problem can worsen if you don't do something about it. Neuropathies is a warning sign that something is wrong in your body and perhaps your nerves are beginning to malfunction. It may be something as simple as a dietary deficiency. If you are worried about your health then you should see a medical professional to help diagnose the problem further. The following tests are used to detect neuropathies (simply speak with your local doctor)
In the meantime keep your blood sugar in check because diabetes is the major cause of naturopathies. BOOST Your Body's Defences - Naturally!
