Question 3 • GA-Essentials of Healthcare

Diabetic neuropathy is caused by

Answer
A
external trauma to the nerves.
B
inadequate blood supply to the nerves.
C
cells in the body mistakenly attacking neurons.
D
compression of nerves.

Explanation

Diabetic neuropathy develops when long-term high blood sugar damages nerves and the small blood vessels that supply them. Reduced blood flow deprives nerves of oxygen and nutrients, contributing to nerve damage. Therefore, the best answer is inadequate blood supply to the nerves; trauma, immune attack, and compression describe other possible causes of nerve problems.
