Diabetes and cramps? Have you tried everything? Maybe not?

Leg cramps are a common occurrence, especially in people over the age of 65. In most cases, cramps are not a serious cause for concern. But the same cannot be said if you often get cramps in both legs and have diabetes.

In this case, cramps are a complication of diabetes and you should not neglect them.

Diabetes is a condition that unfortunately over the years leads to nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy. Even slightly elevated sugar levels can damage some of the nerves in people with diabetes.

Over 50% of people with type 2 diabetes over the age of 60 have peripheral neuropathy, that is, the nerves of the legs have been damaged.

The cramps is one of the symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy.

Other symptoms that diabetic neuropathy can present with are pain, numbness, tingling, burning, stabbing, stitching, or itching in the feet.

If these symptoms get worse at night then you should hurry even more, because the neuropathy may be more advanced, i.e. the destruction of the nerves has progressed.

Advanced neuropathy also leads to loss of sensation, meaning you don't feel pain even when you have an injury. But this is very dangerous because then your feet are at risk of injuries and open wounds (ulcers), which will lead to infection of the foot with possible consequence and an amputation.

It is estimated that 25% of people with diabetes will develop a leg ulcer at least once during their lifetime. About 50.000 people with diabetes in Greece are at increased risk of amputation.

While approximately 3.000 lower limb amputations are performed annually.

The dietary supplement NEVRALIP 600 retard which contains 9 ingredients
(alpha lipoic acid, selenium, zinc, chromium picolinate, biotin, vitamin B complex, and vitamin E) helps to treat all symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, cramps, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, prickles, etc., as it has proved in a study.

The NEVRALIP 600 retard has been studied at the diabetic foot center of the People's Hospital in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy. Learn more at www.diavitiko-podi.gr
