Neurologist

Hello group !!!I have gone to the neurologist for a revision and in physical examination he has told me that I have absence of reflexes in the knees, which is normal in diabetics.Some experience with this.Thank you

No experience, just tell you that everything that happens to us in "normal" for them is justified to not seek treatment.

They are going to make an electromyogram that it comes out !!!I've been with DTP1 for 27 years and I am a little scared.Thank you

It is the rational, in the EMG you will see the degree of affectation you have.Many diabetics have neurological alteration, but they don't know it because it is subclinical.In this test the degree of affectation will be seen, if you have it.It monitors your glucose, because for now neuropathy has no cure and the or a way to fight it is to keep the damn sugar at bay.
I have neuropathy and they make me newspapers to control the evolution
Luck

What reflexes are missing, the Aquilians (ankles) or rotrolians (knee)?
I have the absence of Aquilians and weak
Luck!!!

It is the first news that I have on that subject, and see that I lead a lifetime with this in tow.
No dietitian or endocrine had even mentioned it in passing.
I, for my part, what I had noticed is that for a while at this part they give me tremendous pain in my legs, but always from the knee down.And I try to scratch myself carefully, but sometimes I enter a frenzy such that I cannot stop doing it, even provoking wounds that then take to heal, but the itching it feels is enormous.Are we talking about the same?

Thc@ those symptoms are not typical of neuropathy, which are tingling and staining feet and then legs, as well as feeling those nerves and sometimes as electric discharges.But I have never had itching.
Luck

He has only looked at me by the patellars who are the ones who do not have and on the wrists.Hopefully the EMG goes well.I have a quite controlled glucose.Thank you
