How is diabetes-related neuropathy treated?

Diabetes-related neuropathy treatment involves carefully managing your blood sugar. Managing diabetes is the most important step to prevent nerve damage from getting worse. You can manage your blood sugar through:

  • Eating a nutritious diet.
  • Exercising regularly.
  • Taking all diabetes medications as prescribed.

You may manage diabetes-related neuropathy symptoms with:

  • Pain medicines, including topical creams or patches.
  • Other medications can reduce pain.

You should also check your feet daily for wounds or injuries. Foot wounds can contribute to foot and skin complications of diabetes.
