I am a 71-year-old, long-time, Type II diabetic who also has problems with spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, heart disease (CAD/atrial fib/CHF), high blood pressure, cholesterol under control with medication, and Barrett s. About 5 months ago started having tingling, loss of sensation in the finger tips. Also have very dry skin that cracks in winter. Gabapentin did not help and side effects were unacceptable. Symptoms ease temporarily with moisturizing. Is it diabetic neuropathy?
