What is the outlook for people with diabetes-related neuropathy?

Although reversing nerve damage is difficult, you can still live a high quality of life. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to keep pain at bay.

Lifestyle adjustments can be effective, such as:

  • Using a cane to help you move easier.
  • Wearing special shoes to try to protect feet from injuries and skin breakdown.
  • Getting help from a wound clinic to treat and heal foot and leg wounds.
  • Removing throw rugs and other tripping hazards to prevent falls.
