Message: <blockquote data-quote="Z_e_u_s" data-source="post: 2618571" data-attributes="member: 539495">Consider yourself lucky your doctor even knew what T.I.N.D is!I dropped my BG from 96 to 50 within less than 3 months after diagnosis and it went down to 31 after 6 months which is pretty much around the time I had severe problems on my feet with tingling and hot feeling sensations as well as itchiness around my joints (wrists, and ankles) and shoulders. I had a look around and everything pointed to symptoms caused by lowering BG too quickly (which luckily doesn’t affect everyone who does so!).I called my doctor and mentioned my symptoms and what my google search had produced and I could hear him rolling his eyes from the other side suggesting I should stop googling and that he had never heard of TIND. Other option I found would be B12 deficiency and mentioned that but he dismissed it completely saying there is no correlation between B12 and nerves (?!?!?).So I followed the advice I found on this forum and started supplementing with Alpha Lipoic Acid and that helped me! Pain stopped or if there is... is bearable. I tried stopping those tablets after a year or so but pain came back after a few weeks and couldn’t sleep so had to go back to them and still am.I saw a neurologist who said that nerve damage is pretty much irreversible.Could I go back I would take a different approach to lowering my BG and would do it way slower..I wish I knew this before I started this journey  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
