Is Charcot Marie Tooth Disease associated with Diabetes Mellitus?

---

I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes about 3 years ago. It has progerssively gotten worse. I was diagnosed with Diabetic Polyneuropathy last year as well. I was always described as a "clumbsy" child. My mother said I was the only person she knew that could fall down without taking a step.

My neuro says I have a gait disturbance but has done nothing as far as telling my why.

I had some foot pain the last three days and had an x-ray done. My Internist told me I have arthritis and bone spurs but it could be Charcot Marie Tooth Disease.

Is there any information out there linking Charcot Marie Tooth Disease and Diabetes?
Are you confused on the name? Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is named for the physicians who identified the disease, Charcot, Marie, and Tooth. It is not the same as Charcot's foot disease, a neuropathic joint disease that is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. http://www.neurologychannel.com/charcot/

I have been living with with CMT since I was 7, and I just want to find someone who understands to talk to.
Hi there,

My daughter, 4 years old has been diagnosed with CMT disease when she was just one year old. We are living in Belgium and I wish to establish a communication link with you. I am very much hopeful that with the advancements of new medical techniques such as stem cells generation, nerve grafting, invention of new medicines etc, this disease would be cured. I believe within 5 years, scientists would find a breakthrough to overcome CMT.

I would appreciate if you would comment on your experience while living with CMT.


Regards,

my boyfriend has charcot marie tooth disease. and we want a baby what are the chances of the baby having it?

also how would you prevent it? is there anyone else out there with the disease?
Charcot marie tooth disease is an INHERITED disease.
It is very uncommon for a person to get this disease, unless one or both of their parents had it.

Depending on the type, many people can carry it and not even know.

Since the baby gets 50% of your genes and 50% of his genes, that's the bottom line - your baby has a 50% chance of getting the disease. Period.


"Each of us normally possesses two copies of every gene, one inherited from each parent.
Some forms of CMT are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, which means that only one copy of the abnormal gene is needed to cause the disease.
Other forms of CMT are inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion, which means that both copies of the abnormal gene must be present to cause the disease.

You cannot prevent passing the disease to your child - if it happens, it happens.
Well..I guess you could adopt, or use a sperm donor..but then it wouldn't be your boyfriend's child.  (+ info)

My boyfriend has the diesease charcot marie tooth syndrome, which he has a huge arch on his foot and hammered in toes and walks with a gait, he has had it since he was eight. I read in an article eventually they lose sensation and muscle movement when they are older and have to be wheelchair bound? Is that true? What is the chance it will get passed down, if we have children? Is it hereditary?
CMT is hereditary. My mom, younger sister and possibly myself have it (being tested) Everyone is affected differently by CMT but you do lose sensations and muscles do waste away to a certain degree. Some people will end up in wheelchairs, but that is not that common for most forms of CMT. I believe there are 12 forms of CMT.

Here is a good place to learn all you can about the syndrome. By the way your boyfriend has had it since birth..just the symptoms started at age 8. Hope this helps you out some.  (+ info)
