According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
16 adults are newly diagnosed with diabetes and two people
die of diabetes-related causes every five minutes. There are
many treatments to help this dire situation, such as a change in diet,
physical activity, and prescription medications. Even with treatment
options, most diabetics develop complications associated with
their disease. Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common
complications, affecting up to 50 percent of diabetic patients and causing
pain, numbness, and tingling in the feet and sometimes hands.
