Elective Amputation Re peripheral neuropathy

gemma_t1 I use R-ALA and have found it to be incredibly effective. Just my own personal experience with it and I continue to take it.

I just thought I’d add that I’ve been taking the 600mg ALA supplements for about a week now and I have noticed that it affects my blood sugars in that it seems to lower them ...
I thought that I was imagining the connection but I’ve just been looking it up this morning and it seems that this is a known effect. Do you know if anyone else on the forum has noticed the same thing?
I’ve been on Amazon.it and have seen the R-ALA, so looking forward to hearing which is the best one to buy.
Thanks again for your help!
 

No worries. I'm glad things are a little more positive for you Gemma.
 

Sorry to be late replying.

I buy my R-ALA from here https://www.healthmonthly.co.uk/swa... Double Strength R-Fraction Alpha Lipoic Acid

They work for me, although my neuropathy is not diabetes related and is only in my feet, and quite mild. I find I only need one of these capsules a day. It does carry a warning in the leaflet that it can lower blood sugars.
 

Thank you so much for the link. I’ve read they ship to Europe too, so I’ll give them a try.
Thanks again and have a great day!!!
 
I assume your vit B levels have been checked, if not it is a simple blood test that a GP can order.

I’ll find out. Thanks!
Btw what Vit B levels should I be aiming for and which B vitamins? Folate?

Your GP will sort that out if you are low, unless you eat little red meat you are unlikely to benfit from standard "over the counter" supplements.
 
I would be getting advice from my GP if I was near the bottom of the standard range.
 
Suffer from Neuropathy myself. Not sure if it is a reduction in my BS levels or the Circulation Booster I bought, but have found much less pain since using machine. Will try the R-ALA as well as feet are linked to so many other parts of the body. Good luck Sutch24 feel for you!
