Strict glycemic control is the only intervention proven to prevent or delay the development of diabetic neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.

If you have Type 2 Diabetes, keeping your blood sugar strictly under control is the most important thing you can do to prevent nerve damage (neuropathy). While other drugs and lifestyle changes are used, strict glucose management is the only proven way to stop or slow this specific complication. Regular foot checks and patient education are also critical to catch issues early.
