Episode description as stored

Every 20 seconds somewhere in the world, a person with diabetes loses a limb to amputation. For many, the path to that point begins with diabetic neuropathy. Sensation in the feet fades, so injuries can go unnoticed long enough to become ulcers. Some of that lost sensation may not be as irreversible as patients are often told. Podiatric and peripheral nerve surgeon Dr. Stephen Barrett argues that diabetes can cause nerves to swell and become compressed. He believes that relieving the pressure can restore sensation and function in some patients. Dr. Stephen and I talk about how this happens and what nerve decompression could mean for people with diabetes. We also get into the patient whose foot moved again after five years. “It's always easier to prevent a problem than to try to reverse a problem.” ~ Dr. Stephen Barrett Support the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 Resources Mentioned: U.S. Neuropathy Centers - https://usneuropathycenters.com/ The Pod of Inquiry - https://podofinquiry.com/ Some Nerve: New Hope for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy - https://podofinquiry.com/2025/12/some-nerve-hope-for-patients-diabetic-peripheral-neuropathy/ About Dr. Stephen Barrett: Dr. Stephen Barrett is a podiatric and peripheral nerve surgeon with decades of experience treating foot, ankle, and nerve conditions.
