Hon.

Don't know if you know this but diabetic neuropathy does move to different parts of your body. Sometimes it just takes longer. That's why good blood glucose control is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. So the neuropathy doesn't progress to it's fullest progression.

Your doc probably thinks "well, she's diabetic, her neuopathy is progressing, so all we can do now is pain management".

That might OR MIGHT NOT be the case.

And while you should be finding ways to manager your pain, a visit to an endocrinologist is in order, as well as a visit to a Neurologist that SPECIALIZES in neuropathy.

That way you get as much information as you need.

It's an uphill climb, I know.

I have a friend with a diabetic stomach and another with a diabetic bladder. Sometimes, it hits the eyes.

Diabetes affects the whole body. Some people just thing it affects the feet. This is not the case.

I don't know where you believe your neuropathy has spread to. Do you mind sharing this with us??
