I have gone through your query.
Unfortunately, the process is not reversible, So what we do to control the symptoms of Neuropathy.
So when dealing with diabetic neuropathy, management is to CONTROL THE BLOOD SUGARS, so that further damage is slowed or stopped.
There are two very commonly given medications that will help in reducing the symptoms:
1) Gabapentin (Brand name Neurontin)
