Patient's question:
Stroke and diabetes can also lead to numbness in the hands and feet?Doctor's answer:
Stroke and diabetes can both cause numbness in the hands and feet, but they present different symptoms. Diabetes can lead to numbness in all four limbs, while stroke primarily causes numbness on one side of the body. Specific differentiation requires further tests such as fasting blood glucose and cranial CT scans to help identify the cause. After diagnosing the underlying condition, appropriate treatment should be administered. In daily life, maintain a low-sodium, low-sugar, and low-fat diet, quit smoking and drinking, engage in moderate physical exercise, and keep a regular lifestyle.
