New Study Shows "Falls" Quadruple For DiabeticsA recent study of 139 nursing home residents, researchers at Columbia University in New York found that men and women with diabetes were four times more likely than those without the disease to suffer a fall -- a major cause of disability and death among the elderly. In all, 78 percent of diabetic residents fell compared to 30% of non-diabetics. Major reason for falls seemed to be neuropathy, a loss of feelings in the feet caused by nerve damage from diabetes. A new treatment for neuropathy using LED s developed by NASA, claims follow up studies show over a 90% reduction in falls as one of the major benefits of the treatments is in regaining at least partial feelings in the feet.
