The Nerve Damage of Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes has become a very common part of our vocabulary nowadays. We know that it is a disease caused by the malfunctioning of the pancreas and also the malfunctioning of receptors in our cells. We know that there is a high chance of getting hyperglycemia (too much sugar in the blood) or hypoglycemia (too little blood sugar), and that the disease can sometimes lead to mood problems if not taken care of. However, there are many other side effects. One is the numbing of the hands and feet, along with diminished eyesight, or even blindness. Another is the increased risk of dementia. A lot of these side effects are neurological and vascular, and due to there being a lack of something occurring, we can assume nerve death or at least damage.
