Neuropatía diabética - Prevención

Nombres alternativos

Daño nervioso diabético; Neuropatía autónoma; Neuropatía periférica; Gastroparesis

Prevención:

El control estricto de los niveles de glucemia puede prevenir el desarrollo de neuropatía en muchas personas con diabetes tipo 1 y puede disminuir la gravedad de los síntomas.

Además, el cuidado regular de los pies puede evitar que una pequeña infección empeore, razón por la cual, ninguna cita para el cuidado de la diabetes es completa sin un examen minucioso de los pies.
