I would suggest looking into glyconutrients. Ideally, taking a product that has glyconutrients that i know that has this has helped many people who has diabetes. For more information go to. Glyconutrients are essential in glycoprotien production and nearly all cellular function.i feel that this may help you on what you may need. Harper’s Biochemisty a medical textbook has been educating healthcare professional about glyconutients and their role in health and healing since 1996. This textbook is used by 23 medical schools in the United States. Please contact me if yolu need any information at my e-mail address. I would love to help you in anyway possible.

Diabetic neuropathy is not curable. Of course the primary med prescribed is neurontin. However, it is often thought that over the counter vitamin b-12 and vitamin e benefit the nerves. Wear good socks and shoes…check your feet often and keep them lotioned with any unscented lotion (just make sure alcohol is not in the first few ingredients listed as alcohol is a drying agent). It’s also a great idea to see a podiatrist for any nail cutting. One small wound, cut or nik can cost you your foot as neuropathy consists of numbness and tingling of the foot and you could have a sore there but not feel it. As far as exercises that help…haven’t heard much out there that benefits neuropathy..but exercise in general is a good idea to promote blood circulation as circulation is decreased in diabetics. Hope this has helped you somewhat. Best wishes.

A new alternative is to use Infrared Light Therapy. You may want to ask your Doctor about it and you can also look it up on the Internet. It is showing some promising results in peripheral neuropathies
