According to Pub Med Health. Diabetic Neuropathy (nerve damage) is caused by a decrease in the blood flow and high blood sugar levels if not well controlled. While some diabetics may never developed nerve damage, others may developed the condition early. Symptoms of the nerve damage may begin about 10 to 20 years after Diabetes is diagnosed. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth
