Señales de neuropatía diabética que no debes de ignorar 👩🏻‍⚕️

🤔 ¿Sientes ardor, hormigueo o descargas eléctricas en los pies y tienes diabetes?

Soy la Dra. Pau Zúñiga y hoy quiero explicarte de forma clara y basada en ciencia qué es la neuropatía diabética, por qué ocurre y qué señales no debes ignorar.

🔬 ¿Qué es la neuropatía diabética?

Es una complicación frecuente de la diabetes que ocurre cuando los niveles elevados de glucosa en sangre, mantenidos durante meses o años, dañan los nervios.

Es la forma más común de neuropatía y afecta principalmente los nervios de los pies y las piernas.

🧠 ¿Por qué ocurre?

El exceso de glucosa en sangre puede:

•⁠ ⁠Lesionar directamente las fibras nerviosas.
•⁠ ⁠Dañar los pequeños vasos sanguíneos que nutren los nervios.
•⁠ ⁠Generar inflamación y estrés oxidativo que deterioran su función.

Con el tiempo, esto altera la transmisión de las señales nerviosas.

⚠️ Síntomas y manifestaciones que NO deben ignorarse

La forma más común es la neuropatía periférica, que suele empezar en los pies:

•⁠ ⁠Hormigueo o sensación de “alfileres”.
•⁠ ⁠Ardor o dolor punzante, especialmente por la noche.
•⁠ ⁠Sensación de frío doloroso.
•⁠ ⁠Entumecimiento o pérdida de sensibilidad.
•⁠ ⁠Debilidad muscular.

🚨 Señales de alerta importantes:

•⁠ ⁠Pérdida de sensibilidad que impide sentir heridas.
•⁠ ⁠Úlceras en los pies.
•⁠ ⁠Cambios en el color o temperatura de la piel.
•⁠ ⁠Dolor intenso que interfiere con el sueño o la marcha.

La pérdida de sensibilidad puede ser especialmente peligrosa porque favorece lesiones que pasan desapercibidas y pueden complicarse.

🛡️ ¿Cómo prevenirla?

La evidencia científica es clara: el control adecuado de la glucosa es la medida más efectiva para prevenir o retrasar la neuropatía.

Recomendaciones clave:

•⁠ ⁠Mantener niveles de glucosa dentro de metas médicas.
•⁠ ⁠Controlar presión arterial y colesterol.
•⁠ ⁠No fumar.
•⁠ ⁠Revisar los pies diariamente.
•⁠ ⁠Acudir a revisión médica periódica.
•⁠ ⁠Usar calzado adecuado.

👩🏻‍⚕️ ¿Por qué es importante buscar valoración médica?

Porque la neuropatía puede avanzar sin que te des cuenta.
Un diagnóstico oportuno permite ajustar el tratamiento, aliviar síntomas y prevenir complicaciones graves como infecciones o amputaciones.

Yo soy la Dra. Pau Zúñiga y ahora cuéntame: ¿alguna vez has sentido hormigueo o ardor en los pies sin saber por qué?

Y si quieres saber más sobre la diabetes, escribe glucosa y te compartiré un video con toda la información directo a tus mensajes 💕

Este es solo es un post médico educativo y no sustituye la consulta médica.

Conjunctivitis, casually referred to as “pink eye”, is a swelling or inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thick, transparent layer of tissue that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. Varying causes may or may not be contagious.

Diabetic retinopathy symptoms often do not appear in the early stages, making regular eye exams crucial for diagnosis. As damage progresses, symptoms typically include blurry or fluctuating vision, dark spots/floaters, poor night vision, and washed-out colors. Left untreated, it can lead to severe vision loss or blindness.
