## Caption

Believe it or not, the number one cause of nerve damage (neuropathy) is actually diabetes. 

🚨 Diabetes accounts for roughly 50% of all cases of peripheral neuropathy. Chronic high blood sugar damages nerves and small blood vessels. 

👉 Other major causes include alcohol abuse, vitamin deficiencies such as B12, chemotherapy, autoimmune diseases, and infections.
