Diabetic mononeuropathy - what does this mean

Diabetic mononeuropathy is a type of nerve damage caused by diabetes. it is caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the small blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to nerve cells, leading to nerve damage and pain. it can affect any nerve in the body, but is most common in the feet, legs, and hands.

What happens during the disease - diabetic mononeuropathy

Diabetic mononeuropathy is caused by damage to the nerves due to prolonged high levels of blood glucose. this damage affects the nerve fibers, causing them to become less responsive to signals sent from the brain and spinal cord. as a result, the nerves become less able to transmit signals to the muscles, leading to weakened muscles and decreased sensation. this can cause a range of symptoms, such as pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.
