The neuro determined that I have no feeling in my toes by using a pin prick and a tuning fork and testing whether I can tell whether he moves a toe up or down. He does this every 6 months

He has run a test which involves the time an electric shock travels from my leg to my foot. He does this about every year or two.

I generaly avoid eating items which diabetics avoid. I am a few pound overweigh but an not fat.

I am pretty sure I have periperral neuropathy. I do not take any pain mrdication. I take all the vitamins and supplements that have been mentioned on this Board. They do not seem to make any difference except maybe slowing down the progression of neuropathy.
