"Some nerve damage" can mean a lot of things, and may be nothing terribly serious at all. You know many diabetics (most? - not sure of the percentage) have some nerve damage, myself included.Two things to say: first, nerves can heal, so nerve damage may not be permanent (I had neuropathy [nerve damage] in my feet, which has improved considerably over this past year); and secondly, I'd question why you need medication for it. If you don't want more meds, which I totally understand, you're not obliged to take them. My nerve damage improved with an extended period of good blood sugar control, no pills apart from the 2x500 Metformin I take anyway.I know it's hard to cope with scary communications from the medical profession, especially if you're on your own, but you get great advice and support from this forum which personally I value higher.So please try not to worry, it sounds like you're doing pretty well overall.</blockquote>
