TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF NEUROLOGICAL DISOSDERS THAT DEVELOP IN DIABETES MELLITUS
Main Article Content
Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which blood glucose levels are consistently elevated above the normal range. It can be caused by a shortage of insulin or by the presence of factors that prevent insulin from working properly. Insufficient insulin activity causes hyperglycemia. Many metabolic abnormalities are connected with it, including the development of hyperketonaemia when there is a significant absence of insulin, as well as changes in fatty acids, lipids, and protein turnover. Except in a few rare circumstances, diabetes is a permanent condition. In patients with diabetes mellitus, a wide range of abnormalities affecting the central and peripheral nerve systems can occur, either directly or indirectly. This brief review focuses on recent advances in the delineation of clinical aspects of diabetes-related neurological disorders and their therapy. The goal of this article is to increase the effectiveness of early detection and treatment of neurological diseases that arise in people with diabetes.
