1 in 2 people with diabetes and 1 in 10 people with pre-diabetes It is thought to be peripheral neuropathy.
Vitamin B deficiency affects the quality of life of people with diabetes by approximately 19% of total
New results from the NENOIN study suggest that B vitamins help relieve sensory symptoms. Stimulates muscle movement And can build muscle strength in peripheral neuropathy.
P&G Health has invited prominent health experts to gather in ‘Academic conference #KNOWTHESIGNS Know first to reduce risk’ (#KNOWTHESIGNS Scientific Forum) Part of World Diabetes Day 2023, the event discussed the latest clinical guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) in people with diabetes and pre-diabetes. Have diabetes New findings from the NENOIN Clinical Study were revealed at the event. It was concluded that treatment with constant doses of vitamins B1, B6 and B12 resulted in a significant improvement in nerve function. It is measured by the response of the ankles and knees. muscle strength and sensory perception in the toes and fingers of patients with peripheral neuropathy.
This is because diabetes mellitus type 2 is the main cause of peripheral neuropathy. The increasing prevalence of the disease is therefore linked to the increase in the number of people with diabetes. Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include numbness and a tingling sensation. A tingling sensation like a needle and a burning sensation in the hands and feet. Vitamin B deficiency and combination of medications (polymedication) is another high risk factor. together with diabetes This leads to peripheral nerve damage.
Alok Agrawal (Aalok Agrawal), Senior Vice President of P&G Health, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (AMA), said: “As a partner of the International Diabetes Federation (International Diabetes Federation or IDF) P&G Health is committed to continuous efforts. To raise awareness about diabetes and related complications. Including peripheral neuropathy and vitamin B deficiency. Academic conference #KNOWTHESIGNS Know before you reduce your risk. We have invited a panel of experts from various fields to come together. To share clinical guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic and pre-diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Effects of vitamin B deficiency and the role of vitamin B in strengthening nerve function.”
Recommendations from experts attending the event are as follows:
– Professor Rayaz. A. Malik, Assistant Dean for Clinical Research According to the Faculty of Medicine of Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar University, “Early diagnosis of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) allows timely risk factors to be reduced. and alleviate the most common disabling complications of diabetes. Primary care physicians play an important role inDiagnosisPeripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes Asking the right questions and performing simple diagnostic tests produce important positive outcomes in patients’ lives. By relieving pain and prevent foot ulcers and amputations“
– Dr. Rizaldy Pinzon (Rizaldy Pinzon) Specialist doctorNeurology from the Department of Neurology Bethesda Hospital (Bethesda Hospital) Yogyakarta, Indonesia said “Timely treatmenthelpsensory perceptionbetter Pain relief and prevent complications such as wound infectionAt the feet and including the amputation of the feet of patients with diabetes It is important that primary care physicians be vigilant and promptly treat any abnormalities in their patients’ extremities. including numbness paresthesia or pain from neurological disease“
– Dr. Kenny P Merin, pharmacist and assistant vice president of academic and research institutions University of the Philippines Davao Talking about the role of the pharmacist: “Pharmacists are an important part of the health care team and can provide valuable support to patients with peripheral neuropathy.

There are 74.2 million people living with diabetes, while the prevalence of pre-diabetes is quite alarming in India. Half of these people are at risk of developing diabetic neuropathy. Collaborative efforts between health professionals Patient education and referral to a specialist from the onset of symptoms It is of great importance in developing treatment for diabetic peripheral neuropathy in India.”
– Dr. Ankia Coetzee, Consultant Endocrinologist The former president of the Endocrine, Metabolic and Diabetes Society of South Africa (SEMDSA) said: “It is imperative that health care providers receive continued education and training on the diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy and treatment options. Patients should be educated about the importance of regular foot examinations and examinations for this disease. Including controlling blood sugar levels and taking medicine as prescribed Dealing with these problems through holistic education such as P&G Health’s World Diabetes Day campaign and collaborative care It will allow us to improve the management and outcomes of individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in South Africa.”
– Dr. Inna Eiberger, Global Medical Director of P&G Health Nerve Care, said: “Peripheral neuropathy results in poor muscle function and abnormal movement. In addition to sensory symptoms These symptoms greatly impair the patient’s quality of life. resultresearch studyY NENOIN latestIt is concluded that the interaction of B vitamins 1 B6 and B12 not only help relieve symptoms. But it also significantly improves nerve function in patients with peripheral neuropathy.”
