[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1919878, member: 41816"] Hi again [USER=494876]@jeffreyman777[/USER] :) With regard to your question, yes, people with RH can get neuropathy, most likely because of the rapid blood glucose highs and lows. Even pre-diabetics can experience it, and they probably don’t have the glucose rollercoaster we do. I am sorry to say that i have to log off in about 2 mins (its a school night ;) ) but if I can just give you a v abbrieviated version of what I would normally say: [LIST] [*]The key to avoiding further neuropthy damage is almost certainly keeping blood glucose low and steady. [*]For RHers this usually means a low carb diet. [*]Each of us needs to work out how low is low, to suit our bodies, so get thee a blood testing meter. [*]Dr Bernstein (expert diabetes specialist in America) says that if we normalise bg and keep it low, then nerves DO heal, although progress may be frustratingly slow. His patients show that this works. [*]Have a google and a forum search (search box top right of forum) for discussions on R ALA also known as alpha-lipoic acid it is a supplement that seems to help reduce/heal/slow down neuropathy, and is prescribed as such in enlightened germany, but not in the UK. However easily sourced from Amazon. [*]Also have a read of the neuropathy section of the [URL='http://www.bloodsugar101.com']www.bloodsugar101.com[/URL] website. It is aimed at type 2 diabetics, but much of the info will be helpful to you [/LIST] Hope that helps! Will check in again tomorrow if anything else springs to mind. :D [/QUOTE]
