What is Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN)?
DPN is a diabetes complication affecting nerves in the feet and legs. Common symptoms include:
-
Burning or shooting pain
-
Numbness or tingling
-
Sensitivity to touch
-
Loss of balance
While blood sugar control is essential, many seek extra relief. We use evidence-based methods to support nerve health and improve daily life. Disclaimer: For educational purposes only. Consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis.
