[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1409050, member: 160246"] [USER=321774]@Juicetin[/USER] saddened to hear you're neuropathy is back again. :( I'm assuming your glucose levels are well controlled, and that you regularly engage in some form of physical activity on a daily basis. From what I've read over the last two years, 5 of the 8 B-vitamins are used to treat neuropathy. Have you thought about replacing the B1 and B12 with a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement and a B-complex in addition to the alpha lipoic acid? Two other nutritional supplements that are important for us are vitamin D3 (which plays an important role in managing inflammation) and magnesium (which is required for almost 300 processes in the body; and I should add, most of us are deficient in this critical mineral). I know I take a lot of nutritional supplements - (multi vitamin and mineral*; B-complex*, C*, D3*, K2 in MK-7 form, magnesium citrate, selenium citrate and zinc citrate for thyroid condition, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, fish oil and cod liver oil) - but I have inflammatory bowel disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity which affects absorption of nutrients. Even though I'm in remission 99% of the time, I have taken a B-complex most of my adult life because when I don't, I have symptoms. *These supplements are made from whole foods and include enzymes. Nutrients are synergistic, so perhaps your targeted supplement strategy worked until another needed nutrient became depleted? I don't know. Other possibilities are a build up of one or more heavy metals or persistant organic pollutants. Don't know. The research is showing that type 2 diabetes correlates more strongly with persistent organic pollutants than with weight. I'd try every nutritional strategy available to me before accepting that a condition I have is genetically driven, and not reversible. And I say that with the understanding that I have one or more genetically driven conditions, specifically the IBD, perhaps the non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) too. At this point, a lot is known about celiac disease, but not so much about NCGS. [/QUOTE]
