Supporting people living with diabetes who experience Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

The challenge

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common yet serious complication of diabetes, affecting nearly half of all adults with the condition over their lifetime. It occurs when prolonged high blood glucose levels damage the nerves, often leading to pain, numbness, and an increased risk of foot ulcers and even lower limb amputation. 

Early detection and proactive management through regular foot checks, blood glucose control, and pain relief are essential to reducing and managing the risk of further complications. 

As the focus on lifestyle interventions like weight loss and physical activity grows, digital solutions can play a vital role in supporting patients with the tools and guidance they need to manage DPN effectively.
