By the way, Metanx is just a combination of B vitamins and folate that one can generally get over the counter (depending on your insurance coverge, it may be better to go that route).

Also, diabetics tend to deplete a lot of vital minerals--have you had magnesium/potassiium levels checked? This may be contributing to your symptoms.

Also, one thing everyone with diabetic neuropathy should at least give a try is alpha-lipoic or R-lipoic acid, a potent anti-oxidant that is also a blood glucose normalizer. In Europe, these are prescription (in the US they are an over the counter supplement) and are routinely given to diabetic neuropathy sufferers.
