These nerves are the nerves that transmit information from the brain and spinal cord to the heart, blood vessels, bladder, intestines, sweat glands and the pupils. What this means is that the autonomic nervous system is what influences the function internal organs that acts unconsciously. Despite by being merely caused by diabetes it can also be seen or have a relationship with alcohol abuse, HIV/AIDS, Parkinson’s disease and other disorders and
