Hi there. Diabetic neuropathy develops due to nerve injuries caused by decreased blood flow and high blood sugar levels, more likely if the blood sugar levels are not well controlled. Peripheral nerve injuries may affect the nerves in the skull or the nerves from spinal l column. The goals of treating diabetic neuropathy are to prevent the disease from getting worse and to reduce the symptoms of the disease. Since it usually develops due to nerve injuries, the damage is irreversible even despite tight control of sugar. Medications used to reduce symptoms include antidepressants, anti seizure medications; drugs, which block bladder contractions etc., consult your neurologist for trial of change of medication to control the neuropathy symptoms. Hope this helps. Take care.
