We need the insulin that is produced by our body to process glucose in our body cells and provide our body with energy. If the body cannot take up glucose, the glucose will stay in the blood and increase its sugar level. There are many diabetic people who suffer, as a consequence, nerve disorders.
A possible reason for this is that in the long term the elevated blood sugar levels produce nerve damage. Another possible reason is a circulatory disorder that affects the nerves. The nerve damage can show no pain for a while and remain unnoticed.
When pain appears it is usually a sign that the nerve damage has already reached an advanced phase. Therefore, it is important to start treatment on time to avoid the pain getting worse. TENS treatment has specifically been developed for pain relief and can be used for the treatment of nerve pain. This kind of electrical stimulation therapy uses low or medium frequency electrical pulses to block the pain information and to stimulate the blood flow. Electrodes that are placed on the skin will transmit the stimulation to the nerves. TENS also stimulates the body to produce its own pain-inhibiting substances.
Diabetic PolyneuropathyWhen speaking of diabetic polyneuropathy, we refer to a disease that is connected with diabetes mellitus or diabetes. While diabetes refers to the metabolic disorder in which the body produces too little or no insulin, polyneuropathy refers to nerve damage.
