La diabetes y el daño a los nervios
La diabetes puede dañar los nervios y causar una complicación llamada neuropatía que generalmente comienza como una pérdida de la sensibilidad en los dedos de los pies y posiblemente los dedos de las manos. Finalmente, la neuropatía se puede desplazar hacia arriba por las piernas o brazos de la persona.
