There are lots of forum threads on this. ALA does reduce blood sugar levels, so you need to be aware of this and monitor your blood sugars to ensure you don't get a hypo. The "ideal" dosage seems to be 600 MG a day, but you might want to try a lower dosage initially in case you have side effects from it. There are two types of ALA - R-ALA (natural) and S-ALA (synthetic). The R-ALA is the variant which has all the benefits. Most ALA pills have a 50:50 split between the two types.ALA has other benefits other than treating neuropathy.  It is also useful to treat "brain fog" and increase cognitive ability.
