Diabetes does more than affect your blood sugar. It can quietly damage your nerves, steal your balance, and, if ignored, lead to ulcers and even amputations.

In this episode of the Active Health Podcast, Dr. Josh Mason breaks down the real connection between diabetes and neuropathy. Neuropathy is not the root problem. It is a warning sign. Chronically high blood sugar reduces oxygen to your nerves, increases inflammation, and slows healing long before pain ever shows up.

Dr. Josh explains why neuropathy often starts in the feet, how nerve damage develops over time, and why many amputations are the result of ignored symptoms rather than sudden complications. He also walks through what actually needs to happen to protect nerve health, including blood sugar control, circulation, nerve stimulation, and creating a healing environment instead of just masking pain with medication.

If you or someone you love has diabetes and is experiencing numbness, tingling, balance issues, or foot pain, this episode is a must-watch. Early action can change the outcome.
