You might find encouragement in Dr Richard K Bernstein's book, much of it freely available online:<a href="http://www.diabetes-book.com/normal-blood-sugars/" target="_blank">http://www.diabetes-book.com/normal-blood-sugars/</a>Dr B says:"DIABETIC NEUROPATHIESDiabetic neuropathies seem to improve in two phases—a rapid partial improvement that may occur within weeks, followed by sustained very slow improvement that goes on for years if blood sugars continue to remain normal. This is most apparent with numbness or pain in the toes. Some people will even comment,“ I know right away if my blood sugar is high, because my toes feel numb again.” On the other hand, several patients with total numbness of their feet have complained of severe pain after several months of near-normal blood sugars. This continues for a number of months and eventually resolves as sensation returns. It is as if nerves generate pain signals while they heal or “sprout.” The experience may be very frightening and distressing if you haven’t been warned that it might occur."Good luck!</blockquote>
