[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2523209, member: 196898"] I had no idea what this condition was, so I googled it. Here is what I found and which I share so others can understand what is being asked. [URL]https://patient.info/diabetes/diabetes-mellitus-leaflet/diabetic-amyotrophy[/URL] firstly they talk about recovery and positive outcomes are possible, Seconfly, normal painkillers are mainly ineffective because it is a nerve effect. They mention steroids, but be aware that these will probably increase your blood sugar levels and make control more difficult. You show that you are T2D and not using insulin so presumably you do not currently use a glucometer to measure sugar levels. May I suggest if this is the case that you make an investment to get access to one because it makes it quite visible how different foods that you eat affect you and you can see immediately which ones are good, and which meals are making things worse. Look on it as taking back control of your own diabetes and hopefully the nerve problem too. And there are no stupid questions, Feel free to ask away. But we are not medical people so will not be so geared up for the solving the nerve problem. T2D we understand. And it seems good diabetic control / tight control is required. Since it is nerve based, I would also suggest making sure you are getting all the B vitamins from your diet. If you delve into this forum for info, then you will find that cutting carbohydrate intake is a good way to reduce blood sugar levels. Carbs turn directly into glucose in the blood and I do mean directly. Cut the carbs and then dealing with the remaining sugars and fats becomes easier. [/QUOTE]
