Diabetic nerve pain – also known as painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) – is a common complication of uncontrolled diabetes. Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy can be caused by high blood glucose in poorly-controlled diabetes. This can cause nerve damage, especially in the hands and feet, which can lead to chronic pain.1,2
More than 25% of the population in Saudi Arabia suffers from diabetes. Chronic peripheral nerve pain occurs in one of every six people with diabetes.1,3
Untreated diabetic nerve pain can have an enormous negative impact on a person’s quality of life. It can negatively affect everything from work productivity to personal relationships.
Chronic diabetic nerve pain can also lead to sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression.6-8
Diabetic nerve pain is not ordinary pain you can deal with by yourself. Conventional painkillers (analgesics) often don't work well for treating it.9
You should see your doctor if you think you might have diabetic nerve pain. If you have diabetic nerve pain, your doctor will work with you to develop an effective plan to help manage your pain. There are now safe and effective medications that can relieve your pain.
Your doctor will choose what is best for you.
