Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (DPN) is a common and often debilitating complication of diabetes, caused by long-term high blood sugar levels that damage the peripheral nerves — especially in the feet, legs, hands, and arms. People with DPN often experience burning, tingling, numbness, or stabbing pain, typically starting in the lower limbs and worsening over time.
DPN is a chronic condition that can significantly impact mobility, sleep, and overall quality of life. The pain may be constant or intermittent and is often worse at night. It is estimated that up to 50% of people with diabetes will develop some form of peripheral neuropathy. Although there is no cure, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment — including medications, lifestyle changes, and blood sugar management — can help reduce symptoms and prevent further nerve damage. New therapies and clinical trials are also available to support patients living with this condition.
