Diabetic neuropathy is a condition where nerve damage is caused by long-term high blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It is not related to a slipped disk. A, B, and C are all related to a slipped disk: herniated nucleus pulposus refers to the disc material bulging or leaking out, sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve (which can be caused by a slipped disk), and radiculopathy refers to a condition where a nerve root is compressed as it exits the spinal canal (also commonly caused by a slipped disk).
