Diabetes Neuropathy: Numbness of legs, urinary bladder problems
(2 votes, average: 3 out of 5)
Loading ...About ninety percent of diabetics suffer from complications of the nervous system. A network of nerves running through the body controls muscles, senses pain and performs involuntary tasks such as breathing and digestion.
Many diabetics feel weak and numb in the calves and legs and are unable to carry body weight. The urinary bladder looses its efficiency and there is uncontrollable dribbling of urine or incomplete emptying of bladder.
Symptoms of Neuropathy in Diabetes
- Weak muscles.
- Unsteady gait.
- Sensory levels of pain, cold, warmth and texture are affected.
- Increased heart rate, aching or stabbing pain in the night.
- Excess sweating.
- Impaired erection in men, numbness, tingling pain in legs and sometimes in arms.
Preventing and Treating Neuropathy in Diabetes
- The patient should have a balanced diet with necessary vitamins and nutrients. The emphasis should be on whole grains, brown rice, cottage cheese, milk and sprouted seeds.
- Soybean milk is an excellent remedy for nervous disorders. A teaspoon of honey taken with a cupful of soybean milk every night, tones the nervous system.
- Barley brew is also very effective. Boil one-fourth cup of barley grains in half cup of water. The water should be strained carefully after it has been boiled down to one quarter.
- Drink half liter of mixed juices of raw carrot and spinach for quick and effective absorption and assimilation.
