It seems that either his blood sugar is not actually adequately controlled, or something else is causing the neuropathy to progress. No offense, but my guess is the former. According to what I have read, type 2 diabetes can be controlled very well and even reversed with diet, exercise, stress management, and connection to others. Dr. Dean Ornish describes this well in his book The Spectrum. Although not specific to diabetes, he describes his program at his website www.pmri.org (Preventive Medicine Research Institute). Click on SPECTRUM PROGRAM, then on the headings at the time. Lots of info on nutrition.

This program inspired me to drastically change my diet and start exercising, which has reversed some of my neuropathy symptoms over a period of several months.

Dr. Ornish developed his program in order to reverse heart disease, and has shown through clinical studies that this actually occurs. He is finding that it can reverse other diseases as well.
