I have adjusted my diet to low carbs (20g - 60g per day), and the best I can say is that my symptoms haven't progressed. It's been about 7 months now.

IMO, since high blood sugar levels are an absolute known insult to nerves, anyone with neuropathy would be wise to cut back on carbs. I have intermittent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), yet sail through normal diabetes screening. I'm not even close to pre-diabetes according to those blood results, yet my blood sugar rises to high and potentially nerve-damaging levels when I eat carbs. I hate to think how many other people like me are out there and have no clue. I was on a high "healthy" carb diet for a long time, and I'm sure drove myself to this state.

I looked at The Wahl's Protocol awhile back and just gulped. I'm just trying the low carb/high fat approach for now and see what happens.
