Where can I find help?

Talk to your doctor or other healthcare professional about your symptoms. Only he or she can tell you whether you have diabetic nerve pain and work with you to plan a course of action. Your doctor may also suggest you see a specialist, such as an endocrinologist or a neurologist.

For those diabetics experiencing pain as a result of nerve damage, there are drug therapies available, specifically for treating DPNP, that can reduce the pain and discomfort you experience and help to improve your overall quality of life.
