Resumen
Las neuropatías diabéticas son un conjunto de trastornos nerviosos causados por la diabetes. Con el tiempo, las personas con diabetes pueden desarrollar daño de los nervios en todo el cuerpo. Algunas personas con daño nervioso no presentan síntomas, mientras que otras pueden presentar síntomas tales como dolor, hormigueo o adormecimiento—pérdida de sensación—en las manos, brazos, piernas y pies. Los problemas de los nervios pueden presentarse en cualquier sistema de órganos, incluidos el tracto digestivo, el corazón y los órganos sexuales. Cerca de un 60 a 70 por ciento de personas con diabetes sufren algún tipo de neuropatía. Las personas con diabetes pueden desarrollar trastornos nerviosos en cualquier momento, pero el riesgo aumenta con la edad y con una diabetes más prolongada. Las tasas más altas de neuropatía se encuentran en personas que tienen diabetes por al menos durante 25 años. Las neuropatías diabéticas también parecen ser más comunes en personas que tienen problemas en controlar la glucosa en la sangre, también llamado azúcar en la sangre, así como en aquellas personas con niveles elevados de grasa corporal y presión arterial, y en aquellas que tienen sobrepeso. En nuestro estudio se observó que hay mayor cantidad de hombres que mujeres que padecen esta complicación de la diabetes en un 54,91% y que el tipo de neuropatía más frecuente es la neuropatía sensitiva.
Diabetic neuropathies are a group of nerve disorders caused by diabetes. Over time, people with diabetes can develop nerve damage throughout the body. Some people with nerve damage have no symptoms, while others may have symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling or loss of sensation-in-hands, arms, legs and feet. The nerve problems can occur in any organ system, including the digestive tract, heart and sexual organs. About 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes have some form of neuropathy. People with diabetes can develop nerve problems at any time, but the risk increases with age and with longer diabetes. The highest rates of neuropathy are found in people who have diabetes for at least 25 years. Diabetic neuropathies also appear to be more common in people who have problems in controlling blood glucose, also called blood sugar, as well as in those with high levels of body fat and blood pressure, and those who are overweight. In our study we observed that there are more men than women who have this complication of diabetes by 54.91% and the most common type of neuropathy is sensory neuropathy.
