If one is diabetic and has an accident causing trauma, like blunt force, to the foot damaging nerves, is this considered diabetic neuropathy, or can it lead to diabetic neuropathy? A comprehensive foot exam to assess the skin, muscles, bones, circulation, and sensation of the feet is in order. People who cannot sense pressure from a pinprick may have lost protective sensation and are at risk for developing foot sores that may not heal properly.
There are other tests the doctor can run.
Most people do not experience complications such as neuropathy until long after diabetes is diagnosed, but on some occasions, I have known diabetic people whose first symptom was some complication such as neuropathy or loss of vision. The complications are caused by long periods of elevated glucose readings that damage small blood vessels and/or nerves, and it IS possible for a person who is developing diabetes to live with elevated glucose levels that are not high enough to be critical (i.e.
In a diabetic with thyroid disease, numbness in the hands would raise concern for another type of neuropathy: carpal tunnel syndrome.

There seems to be some research showing glutathione may help with diabetic neuropathy. I take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, a precursor to glutathione, primarily to help my liver deal with occupational solvent exposure. So far it hasn't done anything for the neuropathy in my feet.
Dear Sandy,
These symptoms you describe can certainly be caused by diabetic neuropathy. The best defense and treatment for this is to improve the self monitoring of blood glucose, keeping it at normal levels helps prevent the problems. i can sympathize because i have a bit of the neuropathy in my foot and this may be from the fact that at the beginning of my 31 years as a diabetic they didn't control blood glucose as well as they can now.
I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be. I am wondering if you are experiencing Diabetic Neuropathy?
Diabetic Neuropathy occurs in when blood glucose levels effect the nerves and cause changes and damage. This occurs in approximately 50% of all diabetics to one degree or another.

Hi there. Diabetic neuropathy develops due to nerve injuries caused by decreased blood flow and high blood sugar levels, more likely if the blood sugar levels are not well controlled. Peripheral nerve injuries may affect the nerves in the skull or the nerves from spinal l column. The goals of treating diabetic neuropathy are to prevent the disease from getting worse and to reduce the symptoms of the disease.
