At your age I don't think you are diabetic. and Diabetic Neuropathy is highly unlikely to develop in short duration. Diabetic neuropathy refers to nerve damage that occurs as a result of long-term diabetes. The duration and symptoms of diabetic neuropathy can vary depending on several factors, including the individual's overall health, their diabetes management, and the specific type of neuropathy they have. Here is some general information regarding diabetic neuropathy: Duration: Diabetic neuropathy typically develops gradually over time and tends to be a chronic condition. It is often associated with long-standing diabetes, especially when blood sugar levels are poorly controlled. The duration can vary from a few years to several decades, depending on the individual. Symptoms: Diabetic neuropathy can affect different nerves in the body, leading to various symptoms. The four main types of diabetic neuropathy and their associated symptoms are: a. Peripheral neuropathy: This is the most common form of diabetic neuropathy, affecting the peripheral nerves, typically in the feet and legs. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, burning or shooting pain, sensitivity to touch, muscle weakness, and loss of coordination. b. Autonomic neuropathy: This type affects the nerves that control involuntary bodily functions. Symptoms can involve the digestive system (e.g., bloating, constipation, diarrhea), cardiovascular system (e.g., rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure), urinary system (e.g., bladder problems), and sexual function (e.g., erectile dysfunction in men). c. Proximal neuropathy: Also known as diabetic amyotrophy, this type affects the nerves in the hips, thighs, buttocks, and legs. Symptoms may include severe pain, muscle weakness, and difficulty moving the affected limbs. d. Focal neuropathy: This type involves damage to individual nerves, often resulting in sudden and severe symptoms. It can affect any nerve in the body, leading to symptoms such as muscle weakness, pain, and sensory loss in specific areas .
