On Jan 21, 2023, St. Joseph Drug partnered with Viatris to raise awareness on “The Painful Truth About Diabetes And Its Complications”. They invited Dr. Rosalina Espiritu-Picar, an expert neurologist, to give details on how to recognize and treat diabetic or peripheral neuropathy – one of the most common complications of diabetes. Read on to learn more about the webinar.
- St. Joseph Drug, in collaboration with Viatris, invited expert neurologist Dr. Rosalina Espiritu-Picar to discuss peripheral neuropathy.
- Since diabetes can damage the small blood vessels where nourishment for nerves pass through, it can also damage the nerves.
- Neuropathic pain, just like any diabetic complication, can affect a person’s quality of life and is fairly common.
- Tusok-tusok and kirot are typical symptoms of nerve pain.
- Patient education, lowering blood sugar, managing comorbid conditions, and using therapeutic agents are also crucial for neuropathic pain management.
- Vitamin B is not a therapeutic agent specific to nerve pain. That’s why seeking consultation is a must.
