Treatment for peripheral nerve damage involves taking medications and controlling blood sugar levels. Patients may take drugs such as mecobalamin and vitamin B1. However, it is essential to identify the underlying cause of the peripheral nerve injury, including considering late-stage diabetic complications that can lead to peripheral neuropathy. At this stage, in addition to improving circulation and providing nutritional support to the nerves, active and consistent control of blood glucose levels is crucial to maintain a stable condition.
