Kidney failures symptoms could include swelling of the feet and ankles, fatigue, itching and the color of the skin become pale.

Disorder of the nerve which is called Diabetic Neuropathy is the very serious complication in Diabetes. In this disorder nerve function are reduced or distorted.

Peripherals and Autonomicare the two main type’s Neuropathy. In peripherals the nerves in the toes, feet, legs, hands and arms are affected. This Neuropathy particularly affects the sensation. The Effects and Symptoms of Peripherals Neuropathy include Tingling-Weakness-Burning Sensation- loss of sense of warm and cold- numbness -Deep pain.

In Peripherals neuropathy due to numbness a patient may not be aware of minor wounds blisters or infections in the legs or feet and may pose risk for ulcers and, in usually severe cases, amputation. This in medical term is called Gangrene. Gangrene happens to diabetic patient mostly in the foot, since the diseases causes damage to the blood vessels and nerves, which result in the decreases ability to sense the trauma of the foot. In many cases there is a heavy alternation in the immense system of the patient which affects the efficiency to fight infection.

In Autonomic Neuropathy the nerve that helps regulate digestion, bowel movement, Bladder, Heart and sexual function are affected. Autonomic Neuropathy can cause digestion problem like constipation, Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting. It may also cause Bladder infections and frequent urinations may occur. It also causes Erectile Dysfunction heart problems Heart problems. Neuropathy may mask angina, the warning chest pain for heart disease and heart attack. Patients with diabetes should be aware of other warning signs of a heart attack including

+ Sudden fatigue
+ Sweating
+ Shortness of breath
+ Nausea and vomiting

Rapid heart rates Lightheadedness when standing up (orthostatic hypotension)

Controlling blood sugar is very necessary in the treatment of Neuropathy. If the blood glucose levels are controlled the progression of Neuropathy slows down. Risk factor of the heart normally increases the chances of developing Neuropathy. The necessary measure to prevent the onset of Neuropathy is to lower triglycerides in the blood vessels, lose weight, reduce blood pressure and for smokers it is very necessary to quit smoking.”

Blurred Or Reduced Vision Due To Retinopathy And Eye Complication
