Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy is one of the most common yet misunderstood complications of diabetes. In this in-depth and eye-opening video, Dr. Sanjeev Agrawal explains how nearly 60% of people with diabetes develop peripheral neuropathy at some point in their lifetime. Shockingly, in 30% of cases, neuropathy symptoms may appear even before diabetes is diagnosed.

Peripheral neuropathy occurs due to damage to the nerves, especially in the hands and feet. Patients often experience:

Burning sensation in hands and feet
Tingling or “pins and needles” feeling
Numbness
A strange sensation of walking on a carpet or cotton
Loss of balance and coordination

As neuropathy progresses, it can lead to serious systemic complications, including:
Body imbalance and frequent falls
Digestive disorders
Heart rhythm problems
Difficulty swallowing food
Low blood pressure (hypotension)

📌 In this video, Dr. Sanjeev Agrawal focuses specifically on medicines that can cause or worsen peripheral neuropathy, especially in diabetic patients—something most people are completely unaware of.

🔷 Medicines That Can Cause or Worsen Peripheral Neuropathy
1️⃣ Anxiety & Sleep Medications

Commonly prescribed drugs for anxiety and sleep disorders can significantly increase neuropathy risk:
Valium (Diazepam)
Clonazepam
Alprazolam
Zolpidem

These medicines are often taken long-term and may silently damage nerves, especially in diabetic patients.

2️⃣ Antidepressant Medications
Several antidepressants can increase the risk of neuropathy, including:
Duloxetine
Nortriptyline
Amitriptyline
Citalopram

⚠️ Ironically, some of these medicines are also prescribed to reduce neuropathic pain, especially night pain. While they may temporarily reduce pain, they can worsen nerve damage over time.

👉 Important: Never stop these medicines suddenly. Always consult your doctor for proper dose adjustment or alternatives.

3️⃣ Chemotherapy Drugs

Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often develop neuropathy due to nerve toxicity. Common drugs include:
Cisplatin
Oxaliplatin
Thalidomide
Vincristine

With proper vitamin support and antioxidants, neuropathy may gradually improve after chemotherapy is completed.

4️⃣ Blood Pressure Medicines (Calcium Channel Blockers)

Many diabetic patients also have high blood pressure. Certain BP medicines can worsen neuropathy, such as:
Amlodipine
Nifedipine
Verapamil
Felodipine

Doctors often replace these with ACE inhibitors or other alternatives to protect nerve health.

5️⃣ Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs (Statins) – A Major Cause

Statins are one of the most over-prescribed medicines worldwide, including:
Atorvastatin
Rosuvastatin
Simvastatin

While statins reduce LDL cholesterol and heart risk, they can severely damage nerves by reducing cholesterol needed for nerve myelin sheath formation.

📊 Scientific Findings:

Long-term statin use increases neuropathy risk by up to 16 times

A large Danish study showed:

15% neuropathy after 1 year of statin use

26% neuropathy after 2 years

🔷 Why Cholesterol Is Essential for the Body

Cholesterol is NOT the enemy. It is vital for:

Nerve myelin sheath formation

Brain function and memory

Hormone production (Estrogen, Testosterone, Cortisol)

Vitamin D synthesis

Excessive cholesterol reduction can cause:

Neuropathy

Memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer’s risk

Hormonal imbalance

Erectile dysfunction

Increased diabetes risk

Muscle damage (Rhabdomyolysis)

Liver toxicity

Statins also block Co-enzyme Q10, essential for muscle and heart health—leading to fatigue, cramps, and even heart failure in some cases.

🔷 Natural Ways to Control Cholesterol & Prevent Neuropathy
✅ Lifestyle Changes

Yoga, walking, cycling, resistance training

Improves HDL (good cholesterol)

Reduces LDL & triglycerides

✅ Diet Modifications

Increase fiber (especially soluble fiber)

Reduce refined carbohydrates

Eat whole grains, fruits, vegetables

✅ Healthy Fats

Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil, chia seeds, flax seeds)

Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds)

✅ Supplements

Nervo-Cool: Supports nerve repair with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids

Visible improvement in 1–3 months in most patients

📌 If you are diabetic, experiencing tingling or burning sensations, and are taking BP medicines, antidepressants, or statins, this video is extremely important for you.

👉 Always consult your doctor before changing or stopping any medication.
