(Diabetes) My hands are so numb, they feel like someone else's hands. Is there a treatment?

A. Blood sugar control is the top priority.

 

 

It could be diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

A disease caused by damage to blood vessels and nerve fibers due to high blood sugar, and the most common complication of diabetes.

 

The longer you have diabetes and the less controlled your blood sugar is, the more likely you are to develop complications.

Symptoms of suspicion include numbness or tingling in the fingertips and toes, decreased sensation, burning sensations, or pain.

 

It mainly worsens at night, interfering with restful sleep.

To prevent or alleviate diabetic peripheral neuropathy, blood sugar must be managed carefully.

Proper blood sugar control can improve symptoms. Smoking and alcohol interfere with blood circulation, which worsens symptoms.

You must cut it off.

If it is too difficult, you can receive prescriptions for appropriate medications such as anticonvulsants and blood circulation enhancers at the hospital.
