Anyone have diabetic neuropathy?

In your feet?

If your neuropathy has been helped..what med or treatment did you get? My sister has awful numbness in her feet plus horrible stabbing pain. It is heartwrenching seeing her in such distress. Any new ideas or neuropathy treatments welcome.

@gdon39 I am sorry. It truly is life changing. I remember many months ago you had posted about a spinal stimulator? I believe? They told my sister her A1c needs to be 8 or less to get it..(for infection concerns)yet I read online infection is very rare. Her A1c is 10 so she was just crushed mentally that she does not qualify. Does it help your neuropathy? Do you have numbness?

@Coralmist not really. We have had chats over the last few years and I wish she could get her A1c down. Mine is 5.8 and has been that or as much as 6.0 over the last several years but my diet is hard core

@gdon39 wow 5.8 is out of diabetes range..I believe it is pre diabetes. That is awesome!

@Coralmist I don't have to take any meds. I just do chair and floor yoga bc of a nasty injury 4 and s half years ago so diet is super important and a total life commitment
