Can laser therapy relieve diabetic neuropathy pain? Explore new clinical trial findings, treatment benefits, limitations, and what patients should know.

New research links smoking cessation to lower diabetes complication risks. Explore what the findings mean for kidney, eye, and nerve health.

Metformin B12 deficiency can cause numbness that resembles diabetic neuropathy. Learn who is at risk, when to test B12, and why early detection matters.

For people with painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN), treatment has traditionally focused on controlling burning, stabbing, and shooting pain. However, emerging research on spinal cord stimulation for diabetic neuropathy raises a more intriguing question: Could neuromodulation also improve sensation? Results from the SENZA-PDN clinical trial suggest that some patients receiving high-frequency …

Three decades of advances in diabetes care have transformed how people with type 1 diabetes manage glucose. Insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), improved insulin analogs, automated insulin delivery, and earlier screening have all changed daily treatment. However, have these advances actually reduced the long-term complications of type 1 diabetes? …

Charcot foot in diabetes can begin with a warning sign that seems almost contradictory: a foot that is hot, red, and swollen but causes surprisingly little pain.

Diabetes care has advanced dramatically over the past decade. While therapies such as GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors have transformed glucose management and cardiovascular outcomes, many patients continue to develop long-term complications. Could an older therapeutic target finally provide the missing piece? Interest in aldose reductase inhibitors for diabetes …

Early detection has always been one of the biggest challenges in diabetes care. What if doctors could identify patients at high risk for diabetic neuropathy or kidney disease years before symptoms developed? That possibility is driving exciting new research into IgG glycosylation in diabetes, an emerging area that examines subtle …
