About Diabetic Nerve Pain
What Is Diabetic Nerve Pain?
Diabetic Nerve Pain is caused by damage to your nerves. It is also known as Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, or DPN. DPN is often found in people with diabetes who have high blood sugar levels over time. Your doctor may be able to help you get better control of your blood sugar level. This may help prevent more nerve damage. If you still feel some pain, LYRICA® (pregabalin) capsules CV may be able to help you.
What Does Diabetic Nerve Pain Feel Like?
If you have nerve pain, it may be hard to do simple things like dressing, walking, or even just lying down.
Some people with DPN may have symptoms that include:
- Tingling in the toes and ankles
