How To Treat Diabetic Neuropathy?
I recently started suffering from Diabetic Neuropathy in both hands & both feet. I have researched the symptoms & remained convinced of my affliction. My hands are so painful that they bring me to tears sometimes and keep me up at night. I try taking pain relievers (Tylenol, Ibuprofen) but nothing help. I don t have any appointment with my PCP until later next week. What would you suggest in the mean time to relieve this agony?

Hello,
first and foremost treatment is to control blood sugar levels meticulously.
There are various medicines like GANAPANTIN,PREGABLIN,DULOXOTEINE etc which can be used to take care of pain.
In addition to it,you must take few injections of VIT B12 and get supplemented with adequate levels VIT D.
Your doctor should be able to help you with this treatment.
