Nerve fibers are the one of the only tissues in the body that cannot regenerate. There are various treatments and procedures that can attempt to stimulate or repair the tissue but it is believed by some that it is not medically viable. If you are refering to a tooth which is the most common form of nerve damage, then it may be too late as there are always strict timelimes when involving dental care. A dead tooth is not a rare thing, and they can often become discolored and begin to rot. Try a consultation with your dentist or a local practitioner. These are often free of charge.

What is Nerve damage due to diabetes is termed as?

"Diabetes Medicine" is insulin. Your body produces insulin naturally so it is unlikely! The only thing likely to cause nerve damage is having very high blood sugars for sustained periods of time which can cause damage to blood vessels and nerves. However, assuming the condition is controlled well and levels remain between 3.5 and 8 it will take 40 years for these sorts of complications to occur if at all. The best indicator is an HbA1c test.

Ulnar nerve damage?

I'm not sure what you are asking about ulnar nerve damage, but here is some basic information. I know more about this nerve than others because I personally experienced problems with it. Your ulnar nerve starts in your shoulderblade area and runs down the side of your arm to the outside of your hand and outside two fingers. When this nerve is affected, you feel differences in senses along these sights. In my case, my shoulder had been essentially hanging in my socket for months (the ligaments had all been stretched beyond capacity) and the result was swelling of my bursa sack, putting pressure on this nerve. I experienced very painful tremors down my arm, occasionally lost feeling in my outer fingers, and sometimes dropped things because my fingers would not respond correctly. However, after steroid shots (which reduce swelling) these symptoms improved (but did not disappear). After corrective surgery, the feeling slowly came back and now I have almost full function in these outer fingers (1+ years later). So, one can experience both pressure on the nerve (which has similar but not permanent affects to damage) and one can have damage. With either one you will have similar effects (the nerve is pressured so firing is sporadic, intermittent, and not functional) but with damage the problems will not go up and down in severity. It will be steady. If you suspect either, go to a doctor. If you just wanted to know the symptoms, there you go. p.s. don't mess with nerve damage--unless you want permanent problems

Can nerve damage be reversed?

Nerve tissue/cells cannot regenerate itself like the other tissues and cells in our bodies. Nerve damage is always permanent unless it is just because of pressure from another source in the body that can be fixed. For example if you strain your back and the muscles swell causing pressure on the nerves then it should go away when the swelling does. The correct answer is actually, "Not yet." There are several methods being researched for nerve repair. All of them are still in the small animal testing phase, although one group is close to switching to large animals. Expect research to take another 3-5 years before it moves on to actual human case studies. If you care to follow up feel free to check into Fibrin, Fibronectin, and I cant remember right now, but I know there's a group out there experimenting with an electrically conductive polymer and sugar molecules.
