Will you be able to reverse Pre Diabetes/ Borderline diabetes foot pain? If you are pre diabetic it means that the high blood sugar may start to do some really bad things to the body. I always tell the diabetic to try to reverse this fast as permanent damage can be done to the body. The eyes,kidney and legs can all be lost with this illness. Remember that Pre diabetes/Borderline Diabetes foot pain is serious business. If you have full diabetes the damage can spread faster as more bad glucose is circulating longer in the body

The nerves are small and thin but when they go they bring pain. When the nerves are losing the fight, there will be symptoms such as tingling in the toes. There may be numbness in the legs and feet. When numbness sets in, it is a danger sign that the foot may be lost. At this point a reversal of the blood sugar is critical. These are small warning signs of a coming bigger problem. The main problem is that since the nerves are so small once they have become damaged they are nearly impossible to reverse. Pre Diabetes or Borderline Diabetes foot pain is serious since diabetic nerve damage is almost impossible to repair. It is a must to remove this high glucose out the body as naturally and fast

From experience I can tell you that there are no diabetes medications that can reverse this nerve damage. It is best to try to cure this naturally and bring the nerves back to life. This is the oly way the pain will leave. It is important that I mention that recently 2 more diabetes medications were removed from the market due to the damage it was doing to the heart. I do not know how so doctors can still prescribed this dangerous drugs. It is best to treat Pre Diabetes or Borderline Diabetes foot pain and all diabetic problems naturally

Finally though there is some encouraging news, there is a diet that has been helping the little nerves in the foot to regrow. It helps remove the pain in the foot of the diabetic

Does This Patient With Diabetes Have Large-Fiber Peripheral Neuropathy?


The Journal Of The American Medical Association, April 21, 2010 – Vol 303, No.15 1526-1532

Results:
Out of 1388 identified articles, 9 articles were on diagnostic accuracy and 3 articles were on precision of diagnosing large-fiber peripheral neuropathy. It was found that the most useful examination findings were vibratory perception with a 128-Hz tuning fork and pressure sensation with a 5.07 Semmes-Weinstein monofilament. Other tests that were included were deep tendon reflexes as well as dermatological exams, which were looking for the evidence of ulcerations or pre-ulcerative lesions.

Conclusion:
When diagnosing a diabetic patient with LFPN, a thorough physical exam along with a detailed patient history is needed. Abnormal results from the vibratory and monofilament testing alone or in combination help aid in the correct diagnosis of LFPN. Those tests, combined with ulcerations or pre-ulcerative lesions help make the precision of the diagnosis that much greater. Nerve conduction studies along with nerve biopsy and skin biopsies can provide additional valuable information as to the degree of nerve damage, as well as axonal degeneration.


Dr. Werber of inMotion foot and ankle specialists, has an expertise in diagnosing and treating diabetic sensory neuropathy, and patients with non diabetic peripheral neuropathy as well. We have biopsy techniques that are utilized in the office, and Dr. Werber is trained in performing nerve decompressions that may be contributing to the neuropathic pain.
