I have Peripheral Neuropathy and am a diabetic 2. I have been on Neurotin for about 6 yrs and was told my AIC was fine by my Dr. In 2012, I was sick and took steroids for Bronchitis at that time my sugar went up and I could not get it to come down.

My diabetes was not caused by me I am not Obese. At first I blamed my Dr. thought he didn't know what he was talking about because if my A!C readings were fine why do I have this CURSE.

He told me you can get neuropathy even though your sugar is controlled. I finally decided I am going to find out from an expert what is what did I do this to myself.

The second doctor I went to when I told him my story about being told my A1C was fine told me that YES, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE HIGH AIC TO HAVE NEUROPATHY.

I thanked him for the consultation.

Metformin is going to help you keep your glucose reading down. You probably should inquire about Nutritional Diabetic Education.

I do what I am supposed and with exercise and the treadmill I do the best I can.

It is important to have your sugar controlled at all lengths. My mother was a diabetic so was my grandmother.

I had a predisposition for getting Diabetes and Neuropathy came along all I do is try my best to take care of myself spiritually and physically.

I go to physical therapy to keep the strength in my limbs and feet. My neuropathy is just below my knee to the tips of my toes. My feet get numb, burn and hurt.

They feel better once I get going in the morning. If they are really bad and have a bad flare day I do very little. I may just pick up around the house, and feed the birds and squirrels and just lay back most of the day. It does not last then it quietly goes away until the next thunderous flare up like a 20 foot wave.
