Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage that is caused by high levels of blood sugar & fats, such as triglycerides, in the blood.
• Oxidative stress plays a major role in main processes that fail during diabetes & its complications like nerve damage.
• High glucose level increases oxidative stress, which contributes to the worsening of both insulin action & secretion, thereby accelerating the progression of the disease.
• Glutathione(GSH), an important antioxidant is also significantly suppressed in diabetic patients.
