Is there a natural treatment for diabetic nerve pain?
Contemplative Chanteuse IDK TIRH asked:
My husband has diabetes and he’s been experiencing pain and burning in his legs. The pain is debilitating at times. He’s told his doctor, but the ultrasound shows that his circulation is in the normal range.
My husband has diabetes and he’s been experiencing pain and burning in his legs. The pain is debilitating at times. He’s told his doctor, but the ultrasound shows that his circulation is in the normal range.
Would too much sugar in his diet trigger the pain, or is this a cumulative effect of too much sugar too long? (He just told me he’s been eating bags of jelly beans at work when he gets stressed. It’s not enough that his blood sugar levels are spiking and his A1C’s are good – 5.6 to 5.9.)
Is there anything natural he could do to deal with this? I know there are drugs, but the side-effects are pretty scary. He currently takes Glucophage and blood pressure meds.

hubby is doing this to himself
he is taking a drug to lower blood sugar and eating bags of jelly beans (pure refined sugar). his doctor, nutritionist, or altmed practitioner cannot help him if he refuses to help himself. if his work is endangering his health, maybe he should consider changing jobs.

Have a look at this link, It might help.
Anyways, I believe in the power of prayer, I am praying for your husband’s complete recovery, God bless!

European doctors recommend alpha lipoic acid 300-600 mg daily
Some people get good results from drinking MonaVie juice which is good for inflammation and circulation.

you came to the right place…safe and effective with no side effects,take 600 mg per day of alpha lipoic acid.it worked for me. also add like 600 mg of a form of B vitamin thiamin called Benfotiamine. I also take it. Extreme burning and loss of sensation disappeared after a week or so. this was 6 years ago and is still fine. trust me on this
