What causes diabetic neuropathy?

Diabetic neuropathy generally refers to diabetic peripheral neuropathy, generally related to metabolic disorders, lack of neurotrophic factors, vascular damage and other reasons.

1, metabolic disorders

If the patient is in a high blood sugar state for a long time, it may cause metabolic disorders, leading to nerve cell swelling, degeneration, necrosis, causing diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

2, lack of neurotrophic factors

can help maintain the normal function of neurons, suffering from diabetes can lead to lack of neurotrophic factors, resulting in diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

3, vascular damage

If the blood sugar level is unstable for a long time, it may cause certain damage to blood vessels, causing microangiopathy, leading to low peripheral nerve blood flow perfusion, causing diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
