[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1584437, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]I got deep nerve damage in my feet when I was a teenager, how I have no idea. Lived with 'burning' feet to some degree ever since. (Hell at night.) (And was pure hell when my blood glucose was very high, for some time before diagnosis.) Only realised it was nerve damage once I became a T2 diabetic, as it is a common complication of diabetes, alas. Your GP should know this, actually. Naughty GP![/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=4][FONT=Arial] But there is a great treatment for it (IMO and experience) - R-ALA or ALA supplements. (There are many excellent threads on this supplement in this forum - so just plug in that acronym into the search.) The Germans prescribe them to diabetics with neuropathy - the clever things. The research and feedback is THAT convincing. And as many people suffering from neuropathy attest to - it works a treat. (Or at least - it can work a treat.) If I forget to take my pill, I feel it in my feet, so run to the pantry and take a couple. I find it works rather quickly. (I also have massage sandals, many cooling foot creams, and several foot baths!) A podiatrist will give your feet a proper test and check, and give you a diagnosis - get thee to a podiatrist! And in some socialised medicine countries they cover foot-care for diabetics. (Not my home country - NZ - for me at least, alas.) ps I won't go into why, but it doesn't make sense for countries NOT to help diabetics look after their feet as best they can, for humanitarian and financial reasons, but we live in interesting times, when it comes to official lines on T2 diabetes care and treatment.
