I had a fairly thorough check-up by a neurologist a few years back when I was trying to get to the bottom of the pain that was at that time dx'd as fibromyalgia. We hadn't yet focussed in on neuropathic pain but he did know I have type 2 diabetes. The only thing he recommended at that time was Alpha Lipoic Acid or R-Lipoic Acid (a stabilized form of Alpha Lipoic Acid). When I asked what dose to take, I found his answer smile-worthy, he said, "any dose."
Evidently he knew of a patient who felt it really helped him, but didn't know of any specific dosing parameters.
So yes, I have first-hand experience with a neurologist suggesting a supplement!
