THE EFFECT OF ACETYL-L-CARNITINE ON DIABETIC NEUROPATHY

Abstract

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a chronic and debilitating complication that affects a significant proportion of individuals with diabetes. It arises from prolonged hyperglycemia, leading to nerve damage, particularly in the peripheral nervous system. Symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, including pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness, significantly impair the quality of life of affected individuals. Currently, no definitive cure for diabetic neuropathy exists, and existing therapies primarily aim to manage symptoms, alleviate pain, and slow disease progression.
