I think starting a good diet is important now.

The one I like to recommend, has validity for controlling blood glucose levels and inflammation..

The Zone.

It is easy to follow, and very helpful. In essence, it avoids high glycemic carbs and sugars, moderates saturated fats, encourages essential fats, and balances carbs with protein.

Your library may have his books. Controlling inflammation is important for PNers IMO. Inflammation results from insulin spikes that occur during impaired glucose metabolism and from eating sweets. Insulin can be a stimulus to creating inflammatory cytokines which are implicated in nerve pain and damage.

This explains further:

In essence.. eat more omega-3, less omega-6, and remove sweets and high glycemic carbs.
