Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes and develops when persistently high blood sugar levels damage the peripheral nerves. It most often affects the feet and legs, although the hands and other parts of the body may also be involved. Without timely treatment, diabetic neuropathy can lead to chronic pain, loss of sensation, foot ulcers, infections, and, in severe cases, amputation.
Dr. (Prof.) Kunal Bahrani provides comprehensive neurological evaluation and personalized treatment for diabetic neuropathy in Faridabad, focusing on relieving symptoms, slowing nerve damage, and preventing long-term complications.
What is Diabetic Neuropathy?
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage caused by diabetes. Elevated blood glucose levels over time injure the small blood vessels that nourish nerves, reducing their ability to function normally.
The condition usually develops gradually and may remain unnoticed until symptoms become significant.

Some patients may also develop autonomic neuropathy, causing dizziness, digestive problems, bladder dysfunction, or changes in sweating.
