Therapy for diabetic neuropathy

The aim of diabetic neuropathy therapy is to halt the progression of nerve damage, alleviate the patient's symptoms and prevent secondary complications such as diabetic foot syndrome. The priority is therefore to eliminate nerve-damaging factors as far as possible, to ensure that patients wear suitable footwear and to advise them on foot care. The therapeutic measures should be individually tailored to each patient. They depend, among other things, on comorbidities, age and the patient's quality of life.
