Peripheral sensory neuropathy Sensory neuropathy most commonly presents as symptomless symmetrical sensory loss in distal extremities i.e. feet and less commonly hands. [nhshighland.scot.nhs.uk]

Associated autonomic symptoms may be present. Examination shows distal loss of pinprick, temperature, touch and vibration sense. with reduced or absent Ankle jerks and weakness of toe flexors and extensors may be present. [jpma.org.pk]

• Weight Gain

  Most people have some insulin resistance as they age, but inadequate exercise and excessive weight gain make it worse, greatly increasing the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.Type 2 diabetes can occur at any age, but it most commonly begins in [icdlist.com]

  The concern arises from the fact that as blood glucose travels outside of ideal levels, additional complications including; death, coma, behavioral abnormalities, muscle weakness, and weight gain arise. [drmarkg.com]

  Common adverse effects for both are dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, peripheral oedema, weight gain, and diarrhoea. NNH for minor side-effects is 6–7 for either. [academic.oup.com]

  But side effects can be bothersome and include dry mouth, sweating, weight gain, constipation and dizziness. Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) may ease pain with fewer side effects. [drugs.com]

• Skin Ulcer

  The skin of the extremities may feel pruritic and may display thinning, hair loss, dryness, flaking, cracks, increased callus formation, and nail dystrophies. These skin changes increase the risk of ulceration. [aafp.org]

  Necrotic skin, if present, needs to be debrided thoroughly to properly evaluate the depth of the ulcer and to remove any skin or soft tissue that may impede the healing process. [ahcmedia.com]

  The technical medical term for that is radiculopathy, although most people refer to it as sciatica. If there’s also shooting nerve pain involved, this form of neuropathy can also be called polyradiculopathy-diabetic amyotrophy. [endocrineweb.com]

• Apathy

  Findings are based on resting-state functional connectivity analysis with 20 patients with mild to moderate AD, which were correlated with their scores on neuropsychiatric inventory syndromes (apathy, hyperactivity, affective syndrome, and psychosis) [practicalneurology.com]

(See Workup.) Management of diabetic neuropathy should begin at the initial diagnosis of diabetes. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Increased temperature changes with edema can be quite concerning and complete workup is required to “arrest” the development of breakdown of the arch with subsequent deformity, such as a rocker bottom type of foot. [ahcmedia.com]

Prognosis for Diabetics with Neuropathy The prognosis for diabetic neuropathy depends largely on how well the underlying condition of diabetes is handled. [agingcare.com]

What Is the Prognosis for Neuropathy? The outlook for nerve damage depends upon its cause. [emedicinehealth.com]

Prognosis [ 7, 9 ] Autonomic neuropathy is associated with a high mortality rate, mainly due to its association with chronic kidney disease, cardiopathy and hypotension. [patient.info]
