I ve been diagnosed with mild neuropathy. My neurologist also checked my blood glucose, a 3 hour test. Results were 79 (fasting), 78 (at 1 hr) and 67 (at 2 hours). He told me to take 600 mg daily alpha lipoic acid. After reading up on this supplement, this seems unnecessary to me. I m experiencing a loss of taste. Could that be associated with alpha lipoic acid? He also told me to take 1,000 mcg B-12, micro lingual that dissolves under the tongue. This has cyanocobalamin in it. I m not comfortable with the idea of taking something with cyanide in it. Could THIS be associated with the loss of taste? Thank you.
