What is Diabetic Neuropathy?

Diabetic neuropathy is the most common long-term pain caused by diabetic mellitus (DM). It most usually develops as distal sensorimotor neuropathy, in which decreased or nonexistent protective feeling in the lower limbs increases the risk of foot ulcers and peripheral neuropathic pain.

Diabetic Neuropathy pain is defined by tingling, burning, sharp, shooting, and lancinating sensations, as well as electric shock sensations. It is normally classified as moderate to severe, and it is often worse at night, causing problems with sleep.

The pain might be chronic and accompanied by cutaneous allodynia, which can have a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life, limiting their capacity to do everyday tasks and having a negative impact on their mood. Pain may also be a cause of withdrawal from recreational and social activities, and it may be related to depression.

Diabetic neuropathy, which impacts over 90% of diabetic patients, is a common sign of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Although pain is one of the most common symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying it are yet unknown. Although it is well known that hyperglycemia’s harmful effects play an essential role in the development of this problem, various additional ideas have been suggested.

What causes Diabetic Neuropathy?

Diabetes neuropathy is characterized by high blood sugar levels that are sustained over time.

Other variables that can induce nerve damage include:

• Damage to blood vessels caused by excessive cholesterol levels
• Mechanical injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome
• Lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption

Low vitamin B12 levels can potentially cause neuropathy. Metformin, a commonly used diabetes treatment, can lower vitamin B12 levels. You can request a simple blood test from your doctor to determine any vitamin problems.

Symptoms of Diabetic Neuropathy:

• Numbness or less ability to feel pain or temperature changes
• Tingling or burning feeling

Patients with a personal or family history of using drugs (including drug or alcohol abuse or addiction) or mental illness (e.g., serious depression) are at a higher risk of opioid abuse.  Patients at high risk can still be treated well with modified-release opioid formulations; however, these patients will need to be closely monitored for indications of misuse, abuse, or addiction. Monitor all patients taking opioids for signs of overuse, abuse, and addiction regularly, because these medicines can lead to addiction even when used properly.

Respiratory depression, if not recognized and treated promptly, can result in respiratory arrest and death.

Tapal ER should be dosed and adjusted correctly to reduce the risk of respiratory depression. When converting patients from another opioid product, missing the Tapal 100 mg (ER) dose can result in a lethal overdose with the first dose.

Tapentadol intake by accident, particularly in minors, can result in a deadly overdose.

Tapal ER should not be used in patients who have severe renal impairment due to the accumulation of a metabolite generated by the glucuronidation of tapentadol. The elevated metabolite’s clinical significance is unknown.
