Suggest Treatment For Peripheral Neuropathy In A Diabetic

My significant other has diabetic nerve pain in his feet and calves. He takes lots of medications and would like to know if there are non prescriptive aids that would help with this situation. He is most troubled at night when he is trying to sleep. < YYYY@YYYY >
