What Are the Treatments for Diabetic Mononeuropathy?
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage that occurs as the result of the high blood sugar seen in diabetes. Mononeuropathy is neuropathy that affects only a single nerve. Mononeuropathy can involve any nerve, but the third cranial nerve, which controls eye movement, is the nerve most often affected when other sources of nerve damage, such as entrapment, are not involved. Diabetic neuropathy usually causes sensory symptoms, involving pain, numbness and a “pins and needles” sensation,” and it sometimes compromises motor function as well.
