Common Symptoms of the 3 Types of Diabetes-Related Peripheral Neuropathy (Miami Guide)

Symptoms of the 3 Types of Diabetes-Related – Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common—and dangerous—complications of diabetes. It affects up to 70% of people with diabetes and leads to nerve damage in the feet, legs, arms, and even internal organs.

At the Neuropathy Relief Center of Miami, we help patients understand what type of diabetic neuropathy they may be experiencing—and use a research-based, non-surgical protocol to help them heal.

🔹 What Causes Diabetic Neuropathy?

The main culprit is ischemia—restricted blood flow to the nerves. High blood sugar damages the small capillaries that supply oxygen and nutrients to nerve tissue. Without these nutrients, nerves begin to malfunction, degenerate, and die.

Dr. Alfonso’s Neuropathy Treatment Protocol is designed to reverse this process by restoring circulation and stimulating nerve repair. But first, you need to recognize the symptoms.

3 Main Types of Diabetes-Related Neuropathy and Their Symptoms

1️⃣ Peripheral Neuropathy (Most Common Form)

This affects the feet and legs first, then may spread to the hands and arms.

Common symptoms include:

• Burning pain or stabbing sensations
• Pins and needles / tingling
• Numbness or hypersensitivity
• Muscle weakness and cramping
• Coldness or temperature insensitivity
• Tightness, constriction, or atrophy
• Trouble walking, standing, or balancing
• Open wounds or infections that won’t heal
  

🛑 Symptoms often worsen at night and may interfere with sleep, recovery, and quality of life.

2️⃣ Autonomic Neuropathy

This form affects the automatic body functions controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

Common symptoms include:

• Dizziness when standing up
• Digestive issues (heartburn, bloating, vomiting hours after eating)
• Irregular heartbeat
• Unawareness of low blood sugar
• Excessive or reduced sweating
• Bowel or bladder control problems
• Sexual dysfunction
  

This type of neuropathy is often overlooked but can be life-threatening if left untreated.

3️⃣ Proximal and Mononeuropathies

These affect specific nerves and may come on suddenly.

Proximal Neuropathy Symptoms:

• Pain in the hip, thigh, or buttocks (usually one-sided)
• Muscle weakness or atrophy in the legs
• Difficulty standing from sitting or lying positions
• Abdominal pain or instability
  

Mononeuropathy Symptoms:

• Numbness or weakness in one hand or wrist (often misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel)
• Eye pain or blurred vision (usually one-sided)
• Facial weakness or paralysis (like Bell’s Palsy)
