You mentioned the numbness alpha lipolic acid is supposed to help with the burning.

My Vitamin D was low too and was told to take 2000 mgs daily. My B12 was

June is around the corner you will have your appointment with the Neurologist.
Hang in there till then. You probably should see a endocrinologist for the Diabetes.

I have one coming up been waiting for a couple of months now.

Had all kinds of test EMG, MRI for Lumbar tons of test tubes and I am still at square one.

Went to a diabetic educator that was interesting.

Hugs to you too Gloria. I have plenty of stories about being dismissed by doctors here with only a prescription and no information. It is a shame and I wonder what happens to the elderly in my area that don't have the resources to give them needed information.
Two years ago I kept going in with no voice, she kept giving me ab's so finally I made an appointment with a ENT, took months to get in. By that time I needed surgery on my vocal cord and then couldn't talk for two months.
Same thing with this, she never said a word about seeing a neurologist had to figure it out myself.
I'm reading a book right now you might like it's by Sherri Shepherd, Plan D how to lose weight and beat diabetes. I just started it but sure would recommend it to anyone with or without diabetes. Wish I had read something like this a long time ago.
Hope your having a good day.

There is a lot of information about NT Factor. I use a good brand, a powder. You can read about phospholipid therapy for the membranes of the cells and mitochondria.

"R-Lipoic Acid This is helpful for diabetics. If you get the new R-NaALA (stabilized form, you only need 100mg a day).It may lower your blood sugars, so do your testing to see what effects it has on you."

is R-NaALA a newer version of RLA? I searched but only found R-ALA.

Yes, R-NaALA (stabilized R-lipoic acid) is new.

example:
http://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-S...+best+R-lipoic

The abbreviation of R-NaALA is a patented name and should be on the label of the product you choose. So far there are not many out there yet. But most good online suppliers do carry the Doctor's Best one.
