Overview
Precision in diagnosis. Clarity in treatment.
Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes, causing progressive nerve damage that affects quality of life significantly when left unmanaged.
At Painacea, diabetic neuropathy care is built around identifying the exact pattern and severity of nerve involvement and treating it with targeted, minimally invasive solutions designed for long-term symptom control and functional preservation.
Painacea is defined by:
About
The most prevalent complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Affects up to 50% of people with diabetes over their lifetime
Peripheral neuropathy affecting the feet and lower limbs is the most common form
Other forms include autonomic neuropathy affecting internal organs, proximal neuropathy affecting the thighs and hips, and focal neuropathy affecting specific nerves
Diabetic foot complications including ulceration and infection are directly linked to unmanaged peripheral neuropathy
Diabetic foot complications including ulceration and infection are directly linked to unmanaged peripheral neuropathy
Early diabetic neuropathy diagnosis significantly improves long-term outcomes
Causes
Diabetic neuropathy develops when chronically elevated blood glucose damages nerve fibres and the small blood vessels that supply them.
Contributing factors include:
Symptoms
Diabetic neuropathy symptoms vary depending on which nerves are affected and the stage of progression. Recognising the pattern early is essential for accurate diagnosis and timely management.
Common symptoms include:
Pain consistently present at rest or worsening at night is a hallmark of diabetic neuropathic pain and warrants specialist assessment without delay.

FAQs
Burning or shooting foot and leg pain, numbness and loss of sensation, tingling and pins and needles, muscle weakness in the lower limbs, and loss of balance due to reduced proprioception.
Blood glucose optimisation is the most important intervention. Neuromodulation including spinal cord stimulation, targeted nerve interventions, and regenerative therapies provide effective pain control and nerve support alongside medical management.
Consistent blood glucose control, regular gentle exercise to improve circulation, vitamin B supplementation under medical guidance, smoking cessation, alcohol reduction, and structured daily foot care to prevent unnoticed injury.
It cannot be fully reversed but progression can be significantly slowed with good blood glucose control and targeted treatment. Symptoms can be substantially reduced with appropriate pain management and nerve support therapies.
A consultation can help determine appropriate next steps based on your condition.
