Neuropathy is a common problem in patients with Diabetes. Unfortunately, it is only partially prevented by good glucose control. Neuropathy can cause numbness, tingling, or burning in the affected areas, which is not reversible. It is usually progressive. Neuropathy not only occurs in the somatic nerves (sensory nerves), but also in the autonomic nerves, where it causes gastroparesis.
