What Causes Diabetic Neuropathy?

A focused evaluation helps determine which factor is driving your symptoms and what treatment path makes sense next.

  1. Long-term high blood sugar

    primary driver of diabetic nerve damage

  2. Poor blood sugar control

    accelerates nerve deterioration

  3. Diabetes duration

    longer diabetes history increases risk

  4. High blood pressure

    compounds nerve and vessel damage

  5. High cholesterol

    contributes to poor nerve blood supply

  6. Chronic inflammation

    low-grade inflammation damages nerve tissue

Diabetic Neuropathy Questions Answered

Yes. Dr. Lazarus uses non-drug options such as Class IV laser therapy, neoGEN electric cell signaling, radial shockwave therapy when appropriate, and regenerative treatment planning to support nerve function, circulation, and symptom control.

Class IV laser therapy may support microcirculation to irritated nerves, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cellular repair. For diabetic patients, circulation support is especially important because diabetes can compromise blood supply to peripheral nerves.

Coverage varies by plan and by treatment. Some advanced neuropathy treatments may not be covered by insurance. Our team will verify your benefits before treatment begins. Call (475) 238-7400 for a benefits check.

Blood sugar control is the most important factor. Combined with Dr. Lazarus's conservative neuropathy treatments, custom protective orthotics, and regular foot monitoring, progression risk can be addressed and symptoms may improve.
