Give me a longer explanation for all types of neuropathy. Diabetic nerve damage and the pain is caused by too much sugar in the blood. The sugar hurts the nerve cell's outer sheath. .(the protective outer cover) Peripheral nerve cells have three main parts: cell body, axons, and dendrites (or terminal).. (See diagram below)
In 2014, the median length of service for hospice patients was 17.4 days. This means that of the estimated 1.6 to 1.7 million patients who received hospice services that year, half received hospice care for less than 17.4 days, and the other half received it for longer than that. In fact, the average number of days a patient received hospice care in 2014 was 71.3 days. The dying process takes time. Because of the highly skilled care that hospice workers can provide to their patients, hospice proves most effective when the caregiving team has time to deliver it.
15 The share of beneficiaries aged 85 or older who died while in hospice care rose from 21 percent to 45 percent between 2000 and 2008 (Figure 4). The number of Medicare hospice clients increased to 1,055,000 in 2008, and the average length of stay increased from 80 days in 2007 to 83 days in 2008.
