TY - JOUR. T1 - Sural sensory action potential identifies diabetic peripheral neuropathy response to therapy. AU - Vinik, Aaron I.. AU - Bril, Vera. AU - Litchy, William J.. AU - Price, Karen L.. AU - Bastyr, Edward J.. PY - 2005/11/1. Y1 - 2005/11/1. N2 - Identifying patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) amenable to therapy is a challenge. To determine whether the amplitude of the sural sensory nerve action potential (sural SNAP) reflects the severity of DPN, an analysis was performed on 205 patients with DPN, identified by an abnormal vibration detection threshold (VDT), who were enrolled in a multinational clinical trial investigating ruboxistaurin (RBX) mesylate. Nerve conduction velocity and response amplitude and latency were measured and compared. VDT was significantly lower in those with preserved sural SNAPs (n = 128) than in those in whom they were absent (n = 77; 21.5 vs. 22.7 JND units, P = 0.002). Thus, preserved sural SNAP denoted less severe DPN. Logistic regression ...

Longer nerve fibers are affected to a greater degree than shorter ones because nerve conduction velocity is slowed in proportion to a nerves length. In this syndrome, decreased sensation and loss of reflexes occurs first in the toes on each foot, then extends upward. It is usually described as a glove-stocking distribution of numbness, sensory loss, dysesthesia and night time pain. The pain can feel like burning, pricking sensation, achy or dull. A pins and needles sensation is common. Loss of proprioception, the sense of where a limb is in space, is affected early. These patients cannot feel when they are stepping on a foreign body, like a splinter, or when they are developing a callus from an ill-fitting shoe. Consequently, they are at risk of developing ulcers and infections on the feet and legs, which can lead to amputation. Similarly, these patients can get multiple fractures of the knee, ankle or foot, and develop a Charcot joint. Loss of motor function results in dorsiflexion, ...

Neuropathic pain is caused by an insult to the nervous system and accounts for 25-50% of all pain clinic visits. Excluding low back pain, diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the most common neuropathic pain syndrome with an estimated prevalence of 600,000 cases in the United States. There are only 5 medications approved by the FDA for the treatment of neuropathic pain with only 2 out of the 5 approved for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Currently, there is a desperate need for more therapeutic agents for the treatment of neuropathic pain. We propose to use painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) patients to study the efficacy of inhaled cannabis on neuropathic pain. We will enroll 20 subjects with each subject acting as their own control; receiving both placebo and three doses of inhaled aerosolized cannabis (low, medium, and high) in random order each separated by at least two weeks. Subjects will be assessed for reduction in pain, changes in normal sensation, changes in ...

The use of tricyclic antidepressants for the management of pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy is supported by several randomized, controlled studies. While the mechanism of action of these agents is not clear, it is thought that they inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin as well as affect sodium channels and N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA) receptors (2). Despite the fact that this drug class is considered as a first line medication in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, it is often not used due to its side effect profile. The anticholinergic effects of these medications, including dry mouth, blurred vision, and postural hypotension, make them an undesirable choice for treatment. In fact, up to one-third of patients who are prescribed tricyclic antidepressants are unable to tolerate these agents (2). It is unfortunate that these patients are unable to reap the benefits of these medications simply because of the side effects associated with them. However, ...

N2 - The pathogenesis ofhuman diabetic neuropathy remains unclear. Mendenhalls syndrome is characterised by a mutation in the insulin receptor gene with consequent lifelong uncontrolled hyperglycaemia. The sural nerve biopsy from a patient with Mendenhalls syndrome showed a gross loss of myelinated fibres that was comparable with the degree of fibre loss in a case matched diabetic patient with established neuropathy. The biopsy from the patient with Mendenhalls syndrome showed only a very mild degree of microangiopathy, however, which failed to relate to the degree of nerve fibre loss and also did not compare with the advanced degree of microangiopathy seen in the diabetic patient. Thus hyperglycaemia itself did not result in appreciable microangiopathy. Furthermore the presence of severe neuropathy without ...

Jinmaitong (JMT), a compound prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, has long been used as a therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). However, the neuroprotective mechanisms of JMT and its effect on gut microbiota remained unknown. Here, we examined the effects of JMT on behavior, pathomorphology and gut microbiota in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DPN rats. Compared to distilled water administration, JMT reversed decreases in mechanical withdraw threshold and intraepidermal nerve fiber density, improved neurological morphology of sciatic nerves, increased serum neuregulin 1 (NRG1) level and contactin-associated protein (Caspr)-positive paranodes, and decreased amyloid precursor protein (APP) accumulation in DPN rats. More importantly, JMT enriched nine species of the gut microbiota of DPN rats, helping to prevent dysbiosis. Among these species, p_Actinobacteria, p_Proteobacteria and c_Actinobacteria were negatively correlated with DPN phenotypes and positively correlated with serum

Diabetic neuropathy affects an estimated 50% of patients with diabetes and is one of the leading causes of morbidity in diabetic patients, often leading to foot ulcerations or amputation. Diabetic neuropathy is clinically defined as the presence of symptoms and/or signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes after the exclusion of other causes (Argoff et al., 2006; Boulton et al., 1998). According to the epidemiologic literature, poor glycemic control, age, duration of diabetes, and obesity are risk factors for diabetic neuropathy (Abbott et al., 2011; Adler et al., 1997; Argoff et al., 2006; Tesfaye and Selvarajah, 2012). However, diabetic neuropathy is considered to be part of the natural progression of diabetes as a microvascular complication of the disease. GlobalData epidemiologists forecast that the total prevalent cases of diabetic neuropathy in the diagnosed diabetic population in the seven major markets (7MM) (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Japan) will ...

Disease Definition:. Some form of nerve damage eventually occurs in many people with diabetes. It is a condition known as diabetic neuropathy. Although high blood sugar damages the nerves in the legs and feet most often, but it can also injure nerve fibers throughout the body. The symptoms of diabetic neuropathy range from pain and numbness in the extremities to problems with the digestive system, heart, urinary tract and blood vessels, depending on the nerves that are affected. For some people, the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy may be painful, disabling and even fatal, while in other people they may be mild. The most common serious complication of diabetes is diabetic neuropathy. However, a healthy lifestyle and tight blood sugar control can slow the progress of diabetic neuropathy or even prevent it ...

‍‍Diabetic neuropathy can affect folks living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Elevated blood sugars can damage nerves, usually first in the legs and feet. But other nerves throughout the body can be damaged as well.. Symptoms can vary considerably, and depend on the particular nerves that have been damaged. One might experience tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, or burning pains. Or one might experience a high heart rate even at rest, or even sudden decreases in blood pressure when rising to a standing position. Severity can span quite a range, from barely noticeable to significantly painful.. All people living with type 2 diabetes are at risk for developing diabetic neuropathy. There are certain factors that make diabetic neuropathy more likely, however. The longer one has T2DM, the higher the risk. The higher ones blood sugars, the higher the risk. Cigarette smokers, too, carry a higher risk of developing diabetic neuropathy.. Diabetic neuropathy can lead to the development of a ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Diabetic neuropathies. AU - Low, P. A.. AU - Suarez, G. A.. PY - 1995/1/1. Y1 - 1995/1/1. N2 - There is a family of diabetic neuropathies that mimic the entire spectrum of peripheral neuropathies. Distal sensory neuropathy is the most common. In small-fibre neuropathy, autonomic failure and loss of sense of pain and temperature are prominent. Painfulness is seen in a number of diabetic neuropathies. The asymmetric neuropathies are distinctive and are probably caused by a combination of microvascular and immune-mediated mechanisms. The pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy is probably multifactorial. Hyperglycaemia is central to any pathogenic scheme whereby nerve blood flow is reduced by an effect on microvessels mediated by perturbations such as oxidative stress, reduction of nitric oxide, prostaglandins and an increase in endothelin. It may also affect nerve fibres directly. Recent clinical trials have clearly demonstrated the importance of strict glycaemic control. There is also ...

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy doesnt emerge overnight. Instead, it usually develops slowly and worsens over time. Some patients have this condition long before they are diagnosed with diabetes. Having diabetes for several years may increase the likelihood of having diabetic neuropathy.. The loss of sensation and other problems associated with nerve damage make a patient prone to developing skin ulcers (open sores) that can become infected and may not heal. This serious complication of diabetes can lead to loss of a foot, a leg, or even a life.. Causes ...

Diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) is a common and intractable complication of diabetes. Conventional therapies are always not ideal; development of novel drugs is still needed to achieve better pain relief. Recent evidences have demonstrated that inflammation is involved in the onset and maintenance of DPNP. The anti-inflammatory property of Tanshinone IIA (TIIA) makes it a promising candidate to block or alter the pain perception. This study was conducted to investigate whether TIIA could attenuate DPNP in streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced rats model and its potential mechanisms. TIIA was administered to STZ-induced diabetic rats at the dose of 40 mg/kg once a day for 3 weeks. The effects of TIIA on thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia were investigated using behavioral tests.

Our objective was to report the epidemiology and drug treatment of neuropathic pain as managed by UK primary care physicians. A descriptive analysis of the epidemiology of incident post‐herpetic neuralgia (n = 12,386); trigeminal neuralgia (8268); phantom limb pain (451) and painful diabetic neuropathy (4719) and prescription treatment at diagnosis from computerised UK general practice records (GPRD): January 1992 to April 2002. Incidences per 100,000 person years observation of 40 (95% CI 39-41) for post‐herpetic neuralgia, 27 (26-27) for trigeminal neuralgia, 1 (1-2) for phantom limb pain and 15 (15-16) for painful diabetic neuropathy are reported, with rates decreasing over time for phantom limb pain and post‐herpetic neuralgia and increasing for painful diabetic neuropathy. Drugs were initiated at first

Mayo Clinic: Diabetic Neuropathy, Foot drop, Meralgia paresthetica. Most of the time, diabetic neuropathy happens in the legs and feet. Diabetic amyotrophy is also known by these names: In general, people with diabetic neuropathy have pain and numbness. The main features are weakness, wasting and pain, usually in the quadriceps. Initial symptoms are followed by muscle wasting and slowed or absent reflexes. This condition has been reported in the literature over many decades. Recovery can be prolonged and unpredictable. Your doctor will probably want to rule out problems like: Your doctor may do some of these tests to find the cause of your symptoms: Diabetic amyotrophy often gets better on its own over time. Patients complain of pain (often severe), dysaesthesiae and paraesthesiae in the proximal lower limbs - usually the front of the thigh, hip or buttock. Alternately referred to as lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy, femoral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathic cachexia, or diabetic ...

Diabetic neuropathy is a peripheral nerve disorder caused by diabetes or poor blood sugar control. The most common types of diabetic neuropathy result in problems with sensation in the feet. It can develop slowly after many years of diabetes or may occur early in the disease. The symptoms are numbness, pain, or tingling in the feet or lower legs. The pain can be intense and require treatment to relieve the discomfort. The loss of sensation in the feet may also increase the possibility that foot injuries will go unnoticed and develop into ulcers or lesions that become infected. In some cases, diabetic neuropathy can be associated with difficulty walking and some weakness in the foot muscles. There are other types of diabetic-related neuropathies that affect specific parts of the body. For example, diabetic amyotrophy causes pain, weakness and wasting of the thigh muscles, or cranial nerve infarcts that may result in double vision, a drooping eyelid, or dizziness. Diabetes can also affect the ...

At least 15% of all persons with diabetes eventually have a foot ulcer and nearly 1% of persons with diabetes have an amputation. It is estimated that nearly 75% of all amputations caused by neuropathy and poor circulation could be prevented with proper care. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases recommends control of blood sugar, relief of pain (typically achieved through use of medications and or electrotherapy), and special care of the hands and feet as treatment for diabetic neuropathy. Recommended care for the feet includes frequent visual inspection, good hygiene, use of protective lubricants and wearing of special shoes. There are no commonly recommended courses of therapy that aim to both reduce pain and increase circulation in order to treat the pain associated with neuropathy and, at the same time, help reduce the risk of developing foot ulcers ...

PURPOSE: Diabetic patients with severe diabetic neuropathy often have hypoesthesia and numbness. This study evaluated foot self-care behavior according to severity of diabetic neuropathy. METHODS: We used a hand-held nerve conduction test device DPN check (HDN-1000, Omron) to evaluate severity of diabetic neuropathy. Foot self-care was evaluated using the Japanese SDSCA (the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities measure). Foot self-care comprised visual inspection, washing, wiping interdigital areas, and checking shoes, and was scored according to the number of days self-care which was performed in the previous week. RESULTS: The study evaluated 103 diabetic patients (age: 65.7 years, diabetes duration: 13.9 years, HbA1c: 7.3%). Total scores (out of 28 points) for self-care behavior according to neuropathy severity were 11.8 (Normal: n = 54), 10.6 (Mild: n = 27), 13.3 (Moderate: n = 17), and 10.8 (Severe: n = 5). Foot self-care scores were low in all groups, with particularly low scores in those with

The study was conducted at the Toronto University Health Network in the Diabetic Neuropathy Research Clinic from October 2000 to February 2001. Approval from the University Health Network Research Ethics Board was obtained before commencing the study. Informed consent was obtained from each subject before enrollment.. A total of 50 patients with painful DSP were enrolled in the study. Eligible patients included men or women aged ≥18 years who had DSP for at least 3 months. Diagnosis of DSP was based on the Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (Table 1). It was required that pain be present in both feet and significant enough to score ≥4 on the visual analog scale (VAS) of the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) (14). The use of analgesic or adjuvant analgesic medications (e.g., opiates, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, local anesthetics) was allowed but was unchanged for at least 4 weeks before entering the study and for the duration of the study. Patients were excluded from the ...

McConnell was diagnosed in 2003 with a less common type called small fiber peripheral neuropathy. Surapaneni said he commonly tests for B12 deficiency and sees it often, though drugs for diabetic neuropathy pain usually are not labeled as such when they get referred to him. as a provider, he has fine tuned my medication to eliminate most of my burning sensations and keeping me alert and not excessively sleepy. Oxidative DNA damage in vivo: relationship to age, plasma antioxidants, drug metabolism, glutathione-S-transferase activity and urinary creatinine excretion.

The most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in diabetics and non-diabetics alike is a lack of sensation in the areas of the body near the nerve endings. Of all the areas of the body the nerves are longest in the legs as they extend the entire length of the body and reach all the way to the tips of the toes. Of all the areas these are the most common nerves to be damaged by chronically poor blood sugar levels and the bodys over creation of insulin which is produced in response to high glucose levels in the blood.. The lack of sensation in the nerves can either be a diminished ability to feel light sensations to a complete loss in sensory activity in the affected area. In either case this is significant for diabetics because physical activity and exercise is so important to keeping blood sugar levels under control. When the feet lose their sensory ability it becomes very easy to injure your foot without realizing it. This results in many foot injuries that do not come with pain and as a ...

Diabetic neuropathy can leave one with a loss of feeling in their legs or feet due to nerve damage, which, in turn, can transform a basic blister into an ulcer without the patients knowledge. Therefore, individuals with diabetic neuropathy must consistently observe their feet for diabetic ulcers. Should a diabetic foot ulcer arise, prompt treatment is necessary for an optimal prognosis. Thankfully, today, there are aids to promote diabetic ulcer healing. Gain insight on these and learn how one can prevent the development of the diabetic foot in this informative article.

Alcoholic peripheral neuropathy is a nerve loss condition in the foot caused by the prolonged use of alcoholic beverages. Ethanol, the alcoholic component of these beverages, is toxic to nerve tissue. Over time, the nerves in the feet and hands can become damaged resulting in the same loss of sensation as that seen in diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The damage to these nerves is permanent. A person with this condition is at the same risk, and should take the same precautions as people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Another form of peripheral neuropathy is caused by exposure to toxins, such as pesticides and heavy metals, and is equally detrimental to health ...

And many of these supplements can also help with the effects of diabetic neuropathy - one of the chief contributors to amputations in diabetic patients.. The number of clinical studies that show adding key nutrients to the health care regimen of diabetic neuropathy patients is growing constantly.. Granted, these nutritional supplements will not take the place of proper diet, controlling your blood sugar and a sound exercise plan, but they can definitely improve the effectiveness of all of these pieces of the diabetic neuropathy puzzle.. What You Should Look For in Nutritional Supplements As a patient with diabetic neuropathy, your requirements in nutritional supplements are different than those of other people. While many companies use the convenience of their once-a-day multivitamin as a selling point, a pill you take only once a day is only going to be really effective for the two hours after take it. You need more than that for the symptoms of your diabetic neuropathy.. To get the full effect ...

Results: The median nerve CSAs were larger in Group II than in Group I and the Control Group. There were ...

The aim of the study was to assess the association between glycemic control understanding as a glycated haemoglobin level and indices of diabetic neuropathy.. METHODS: We evaluated 204 patients with diabetes (type 1 - 29; type 2 - 175). Glycated haemoglobin was determined using The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/ National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program method. Evaluation of complaints from the lower extremities was based on the Neuropathy Syndrome Total Score questionnaire. We used a mono lament for evaluation of touch sensation (Semmes-Weinstein 5.07-10 g), a 128 Hz calibrated tune-fork for the vibration perception test, Tip-Therm to assess temperature sensation.. RESULTS: The mean glycated haemoglobin level was assessed on 8.53±1.87%. The mean Neuropathy Syndrome Total Score: 11.45±6.37. Decreased sensation of touch on both sides was determined in 30% of cases, decreased sensation of temperature in 59% and decreased sensation of vibration in 30%. For Neuropathy Syndrome ...

Dont be surprised if a doctor prescribes an antidepressant medication to treat a condition totally unrelated to depression. Certain medical conditions and/or the symptoms caused by them are responding well to treatment with antidepressant medications. These are a few conditions for which a patient might be prescribed an antidepressant medication and why the medication works for these conditions.. Cymbalta (Duloxetine) Helps Ease Diabetic Nerve Pain. The antidepressant medication, Cymbalta, helps ease the pain of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and other chronic pain that some diabetics experience. The antidepressant medication works by adjusting the chemical response the brain is receiving regarding the nerve pain being felt. The chemical adjustment allows the pain to be perceived as less severe so the diabetic peripheral neuropathy eases in severity.. Prozac (Fluoxetine) Helps Prevent Binge Eating. Patients with an eating disorder that causes them to binge eat are often prescribed the ...

Nerve conduction studies and renal function were evaluated prospectively in 144 diabetic children followed from the time of diagnosis and at 2, 5 and 10 years in the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Huddinge University Hospital, Sweden. At diagnosis and before complete remission of the diabetes, abnormal values were found in 25% of patients for motor conduction velocity and sensory nerve action potentials (SNAP) in the median nerve, for sensory conduction velocity and SNAP in the sural nerve, for parasympathetic autonomic function assessed by R-R intervals in the ECG, and for renal function evaluated by glomerular filtration rate. During long-term follow-up, an initial improved sensory nerve conduction was followed after 2 years by deteriorations in sensory and motor nerve conduction and autonomic nerve function. Poor glycemic control correlated with abnormal prolonged nerve conduction. Improved glycemic control by intense insulin treatment reduced the risk of diabetic neuropathy. ...

Aims To test the reliability of a new vibrometer (Maxivibrometer) which was constructed so that vibration perception threshold (VPT) could be determined without the disadvantage of the off-scale measurements frequently experienced with the Biothesiometer. Methods The two devices were compared and tested on a group of diabetic neuropathic subjects and a group of healthy, matched control subjects. VPT was tested on the plantar surface of the feet. Results The Maxivibrometer gave an actual measurement in all cases even if subjects were severely neuropathic. The replication-to-replication and day-to-day intraclass correlation coefficients for the Maxivibrometer VPT were, except in one case, above 0.94, indicating excellent reliability. The Biothesiometer VPT could also be measured with excellent reliability but only within a limited range of mild to moderate neuropathy, so it appears to be an appropriate screening tool. The replication-to-replication intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.93. ...

Opioid analgesics are often required for management of painful diabetic neuropathy (DPNP) because of insufficient efficacy or side effects of other agents. We examined the efficacy of a constant release opioid Buprenorphine Transdermal Delivery System (BTDS, NORSPAN® patch) in DPNP. The study (ACTRN12609000647235) was a double-blind, randomised, placebo controlled multicentre trial approved by relevant ethics committees. Participants included subjects with neuropathy ≥ 3 on the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument and DPNP of duration ,6 months and severity of ≥4/10 on a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). The active group (n=93) received 5mcg/hr patch of BTDS titrated to a maximum of 40mcg/hr over 12wks by the investigator using a flexible dosing schedule according to pain and side effects while other analgesics were kept constant. The placebo (PL) group (n=93) received matching patches. Primary Endpoint was the proportion of participants who achieved at least a 30% reduction of DPNP at ...

The main finding of this study is that GV is significantly associated with cardiac autonomic modulation in women but not in men. This occurred despite no observed sex differences in overall regulation of HbA1c, GV, cholesterol levels, and smoking habits. Cardiac autonomic modulation was measured noninvasively with HRV in the resting state and during active tests, which is a well-established diagnostic method to assess cardiac autonomic neuropathy in patients with diabetes (16). Cardiac autonomic neuropathy is a severe complication of diabetes and is associated with impaired left ventricular function, impaired dilations of coronary resistance vessels, unawareness of hypoglycemia, exercise intolerance, increased intraoperative cardiovascular risk, increased arterial pulse pressure, and a higher prevalence of reduced circadian variation in blood pressure (31). Furthermore, cardiac autonomic neuropathy has been associated with an increased risk of compromised cerebral blood flow (32,33), ...

Diabetes is a complex condition that often causes a variety of complications, one of them being autonomic neuropathy (or autonomic dysfunction). From the digestive system to heart and blood vessels, autonomic neuropathy affects numerous body systems all at once. Its important your practice is prepared to diagnose and treat the wide range of symptoms that patients with this condition can experience.. Sudomotor dysfunction refers to the symptom of diabetic autonomic neuropathy that affects a persons sweat glands. Patients experiencing sudomotor dysfunction might sweat excessively, especially after eating even non-spicy foods and at night. Sudomotor dysfunction also causes patients to not sweat at all, even when its extremely hot outside. Sweat, of course, is needed to keep the body cool.. To diagnose sudomotor dysfuntion, along with other common features of diabetic autonomic neuropathy, your practice should invest in equipment that provides a precise evaluation of sweat gland function.

OBJECTIVE-Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to secrete various cytokines that exhibit angiogenic and neurosupportive effects. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of MSC transplantation on diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) in rats.. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of adult rats and transplanted into hind limb skeletal muscles of rats with an 8-week duration of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes or age-matched normal rats by unilateral intramuscular injection. Four weeks after transplantation, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) productions in transplanted sites, current perception threshold, nerve conduction velocity (NCV), sciatic nerve blood flow (SNBF), capillary number-to-muscle fiber ratio in soleus muscles, and sural nerve morphometry were evaluated.. RESULTS-VEGF and bFGF mRNA expression were significantly increased in MSC-injected thigh muscles of STZ-induced diabetic rats. ...

Diabetic neuropathy is a peripheral nerve disorder caused by diabetes. The symptoms of diabetic neuropathy are often slight at first. In fact, some mild cases may go unnoticed for a long time. Numbness, pain, or tingling in the feet, or legs may, after several years, lead to weakness in the muscles of the feet. Occasionally, diabetic neuropathy can flare up suddenly and affect specific nerves so that an affected individual will develop double vision or drooping eyelids, or weakness and atrophy of the thigh muscles. Nerve damage caused by diabetes generally occurs over a period of years and may lead to problems with the digestive tract and sexual organs, which can cause indigestion, diarrhea or constipation, dizziness, bladder infections, and impotence. The loss of sensation in the feet may increase the possibility for foot injuries to go unnoticed and develop into ulcers or lesions that become infected.. Is there any treatment? ...

Langerhans cells (LCs) are antigen-presenting dendritic cells located in the skin. It has been reported that LC activation is associated with painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN); however, the mechanism of LC activation is still unclear. The db/db mouse, a rodent model of PDN, was used to study the roles of LCs in the development of PDN in type 2 diabetes. Hind foot pads from db/db and control db/+ mice from 5 to 24 weeks of age (encompassing the period of mechanical allodynia development and its abatement) were collected and processed for immunohistochemistry studies. LCs were identified with immunohistochemistry using an antibody against CD207 (Langerin). The intraepidermal nerve fibers and subepidermal nerve plexus were identified by immunohistochemistry of protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) and tropomyosin-receptor kinase (Trk) A, the high affinity nerve growth factor receptor. CD207-positive LCs increased in the db/db mouse during the period of mechanical allodynia, from 8 to 10 weeks of age, in both

For people with diabetes, switching to a plant-based diet may ease the searing nerve pain that can come with the condition, and perhaps reduce their risk of losing a limb, a small pilot study has found.. More than half of adults with Type 2 diabetes may develop diabetic neuropathy, a type of nerve damage resulting from poor blood circulation and high levels of glucose in the blood, previous studies have shown. Diabetic neuropathy can lead to ulcers and other infections on the legs and feet, and is the primary cause of limb amputation for people with diabetes.. Theres no cure for diabetic neuropathy; doctors usually treat the pain with medication and advise the patient to remain vigilant about cleaning wounds to prevent infections.. Now, in a new study that builds on previous work suggesting that a plant-based, vegan diet can be as effective as medication for treating diabetes, researchers placed 17 overweight adults with diabetic neuropathy on a 20-week low-fat diet that emphasized fresh ...

The present study first demonstrates that ex vivo cell therapy, consisting of culture-expanded EPC transplantation, may be a novel therapy for diabetic neuropathy. The transplantation of cord blood-derived EPCs into unilateral hindlimb skeletal muscles reversed the impairment of sciatic MNCV and SNBF in the EPC-injected side of diabetic animal. The immunohistological study revealed that the number of the vessels was increased in the EPC-injected side of hindlimb skeletal muscle.. After the discovery of EPCs in adult peripheral blood in 1997, many experimental studies revealed that EPCs have a potent ability for neovascularization and that the transplantation of EPCs improves ischemic tissue (11,17). Because EPCs exist in bone marrow and cord blood and small percentages are found in peripheral blood, clinical trials of the transplantation of MNCs from bone marrow or peripheral blood were performed for the treatment of ischemic diseases. The Therapeutic Angiogenesis Using Cell Transplantation ...

Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) affects more than 25% of patients with type 2 diabetes; however, the pathogenesis remains unclear due to lack of knowledge of the molecular mechanisms leading to PDN. In our current study, we use an animal model of type 2 diabetes in order to understand the roles of p38 in PDN. Previously, we have demonstrated that the C57BLK db/db (db/db) mouse, a model of type 2 diabetes that carries the loss-of-function leptin receptor mutant, develops mechanical allodynia in the hind paws during the early stage (6-12 wk of age) of diabetes. Using this timeline of PDN, we can investigate the signaling mechanisms underlying mechanical allodynia in the db/db mouse. We studied the role of p38 in lumbar dorsal root ganglia (LDRG) during the development of mechanical allodynia in db/db mice. p38 phosphorylation was detected by immunoblots at the early stage of mechanical allodynia in LDRG of diabetic mice. Phosphorylated p38 (pp38) immunoreactivity was detected mostly in the small- to
