At this information session we will discuss peripheral neuropathy and then we will hear from someone living with this condition.
Peripheral Neuropathy is damage to nerves of the Peripheral nervous system. Someone experiencing peripheral neuropathy may notice abnormal sensations as well as sensory loss. Loss of sensation means that the person with diabetes is at risk of foot problems and possible amputation.
Diabetes is the most common cause of Peripheral Neuropathy.
