If it truly is neuropathy there are medications available that can help the symptoms or even reverse the neuropathy itself. Keep the best control possible as that will also help. Make sure you are on the correct medication(s) and/or insulin for your (confirmed) type of diabetes and get your a1c down. Do these things and your chances for complications will be greatly reduced. Every 1% drop in a1c can help reduce your risk for complications by approximately 40%. Good luck...
