[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 1997184, member: 479176"] I could even smoke marijuana in Canada but I suspect that will not help. I am continuing with my low carb diet that has really helped the glucose levels - A1c down to 6.9 from 9.5 last February. Earlier in this thread it was suggested using R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and my diabetic clinic said I could have up to 1800 mgs per day. This would have been very expensive at over $16 for 60 100 mg tablets. I am currently taking 3 x 400 mg per day that cost about $12 for 60. The increased dose is much more effective. The pain is less. I also try and keep my feet very warm as this helps to increase blood flow which hopefully will stop the nerves from reacting. The pregabalin seems to help but I may cut the quantity if the improvement from ALA continues. BTW - my neuropathy got worse on insulin that I no longer take. [/QUOTE]
