Many people have insulin resistance. The occurs before blood sugars get really elevated, and show up on testing.
I believe the lipoic acid helps with this aspect of blood sugar control...enabling the cells to use glucose better. So in that way it is not really only for diabetics.
B1 is not needed if you take benfotiamine.
There are two basic ways to attack PN...
1) is to replace depleted or lost nutrients
2) is to support mitochondrial functions when they are damaged.
The support nutrients for mito damage are lipoic acid, acetyl carnitine, and CoQ-10. Also biotin helps, because lipoic acid takes up the transporter for biotin and B5, so taking some biotin opposite times from the lipoic acid can help. Magnesium also helps with membrane functions of the mitochondria.
Also some fish oil helps, with inflammation.
Most people need several months to heal, when nutrients are used. It took time to get where you are, and it will therefore take some time to heal up.
