Patient's question:
I don't really avoid certain foods in my daily diet. I don't like many spicy foods, and I also dislike many sweet and greasy foods. But if I continue like this, I might get diabetes and peripheral neuropathy in about two years. Does diabetes peripheral neuropathy cause pain in the hands and arms?Doctor's answer:
This is due to the complications caused by poor blood sugar control. If a diabetic does not achieve ideal blood sugar control, many complications may arise, such as eye, kidney, heart, and nerve issues. Diabetics must maintain a light and regular diet. It is best to avoid foods high in sugar and consume more green vegetables, engage in regular physical activity, and exercise. Ensure adequate sleep time and quality.
