Dr. Smith.
Fallowing a diabetic diet always sounds like a good healthy idea.

The neurologist who diagnosed me with the neuropathy, did the usual neuropathy panel of long list of blood tests, including Glucose Tolerence Test. It was normal, bur this doctor insisted that " any time the glucose goes above 140, you will have nerve damage.' So my 1 hour result was within normal at 178 by the labs standard range. being < 200.
Hgb A1C and FBS has been normal. BUT, I will keep an eye on this.

So, I understand what you mean by keeping blood glucose level normal.

I have heared about the R-Lipoic Acid. But I have not been able to find it.
I take Lyrica and Amitripthyline. Would like to lower the doses and perhaps try some of the suplements.
I do take Methyl B 12, vit D and CO Q 10.

So you have Degenerative Disc Disease. Where? Lumbar? Yes, this can also cause a lot of consern with radiculapathies and all sorts of nerve pain

I have C 6-7 herniation and degenerative disch disease
