Diabetic neuropathies are nerve damaging disorders associated with diabetes mellitus. These conditions are thought to result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (vasa nervorum) in addition to macrovascular conditions that can culminate in diabetic neuropathy. Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy; mononeuropathy; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful polyneuropathy; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy. ==Signs and symptoms== Diabetic neuropathy affects all peripheral nerves including pain fibers, motor neurons and the autonomic nervous system. It therefore can affect all organs and systems, as all are innervated. There are several distinct syndromes based upon the organ systems and members affected, but these are by no means exclusive. A patient can have sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy or any other combination. Signs and symptoms vary depending on the nerve(s) affected and may include symptoms other than those listed. Symptoms usually develop gradually over years. Symptoms may include the following: * Trouble with balance * Numbness and tingling of extremities * Dysesthesia (abnormal sensation to a body part) * Diarrhea * Erectile dysfunction * Urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control) * Facial, mouth and eyelid drooping * Vision changes * Dizziness * Muscle weakness * Difficulty swallowing * Speech impairment * Fasciculation (muscle contractions) * Anorgasmia * Retrograde ejaculation (in males) * Burning or electric pain 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diabetic neuropathy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
