Low Testosterone and Neuropathy
I am a 43 Male diabetic 125# with neuropathy for 6 years all over my body. My a1c for the past 1.5 years has been a 5.0 a1c and my neuropathy has gotten worse in those 1.5 years, it hurts worse to gain weight. I am taking all of the correct supplements from other pages here on neurotalk. I recently asked my doctor to check my testosterone. He did and it came back low. He gave me my first injection shot 2 weeks ago of .25milliliter per month. Within a few hours I could feel my neuropathy clearing up, by night time I was pain free like the neuropathy was completely gone. I went to sleep, I woke up and the neuropathy had came back 90% before the shot. Now 2 weeks after the shot I am worse before the shot. The nurse who gave me the shot said that the amount of testosterone will be increased after 1-2 more injections then after those test results to see where I am at. So my question is will my neuropathy get better when my testoterone levels get back to normal and if so how long, I know that I will always have diabetic neuropathy and I dont expect for it to heal 100% but i always pray for hope. Thanks for all of the replies.
