This workshop provides a comprehensive understanding of diabetic neuropathy, its underlying mechanisms, types, symptoms, and long-term complications associated with diabetes. It explains how chronic hyperglycemia contributes to nerve damage through oxidative stress, advanced glycation end-products, and metabolic disturbances. The session highlights the role of dietitians in preventing and managing neuropathy through nutrition strategies, essential nutrients for nerve health, and anti-inflammatory dietary approaches. Participants will gain insights into screening methods, diabetic foot care, hydration, and lifestyle interventions that support nerve function and reduce the risk of severe complications.
