Rolla, ND | It is one of the many symptoms of neuropathy and common among diabetics. And it seems getting more common along with metabolic syndrome.
Basically nerve damage and when people reverse nerve damage through maintenance of normal blood sugars it seems to take the longest to fix.
The glp-1 also slow emptying so take someone who isn’t too bad and add the drug and the stomach can really slow down.
It is a condition that makes it very difficult to do a real good job of controlling blood sugars because the rise in blood sugar from food becomes rather difficult to predict. For those on insulin, that creates great difficulty to match the rise from food with the lowering by the insulin.
Note that it isn’t necessary to get to the point of being diagnosed as diabetic to have nerve damage from too much blood sugar/insulin pushing sugar into the cells.
Many cells leave a protective mechanism whereby they can produce fructose from glucose to get rid of the excess. Nerve cells can’t do that so are among the areas that show damage earliest. | |
