Neuropathy

One of the questions the app answers for you is “what is neuropathy?” It’s not a simple answer as neuropathy is actually a complication that occurs with several medical conditions. Short for peripheral neuropathy it’s nerve damage that affects areas outside of the brain and central nervous system.

One of the many types of this complication is diabetic neuropathy which can result from high blood glucose levels. Check out the app to learn more about this and peripheral neuropathy treatment which often involves treating the underlying condition, such as getting control of the patient’s diabetes when this is the cause.

It’s not always that straightforward; less common forms of neuropathy are sometimes treated with a range of drugs including immunosuppressants which reduce activity in the immune system. Check out these facts and more on this simple to use app.
