Diabetic neuropathy occurs when high blood sugar levels damage blood vessels. This leads to nerve damage, which can cause a loss of sensation in the feet and legs.

Because diabetic ulcers are commonly found on these spots, the numbness can cause symptoms to be overlooked, and a wound might go unnoticed.
At Baptist Memorial Hospital-Oktibbeha County Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Center, we can perform a quick, painless exam to diagnose neuropathy and move forward with a plan of care to prevent the complications of a chronic wound.

Call us today 662-615-2791 to schedule an appointment. No doctor referral is required.
