My feet were at the point where I became clumsy due to not having full nerve feeling but after going on a keto diet in about 7 months I noticed I could feel the floor fully and my clumsiness has disappeared just have a little tingling in my toes and occasionally a little itch feeling but a great deal of improvement. Also take a couple of supplements that help. Key was get insulin levels down.

@A DiabetesTeam Member my neuropathy was worse but since I started using St John’s Wort topically it has been much better. I had taken capsules but due to it interfering with my allergy meds I had to stop. I also made a blend of herbs including passion flower, marshmallow root, California poppy, Nopal cactus, and corydalis, I take it in an alcohol base tincture I make myself. I take a teaspoon a day. I prefer herbal remedies whenever possible. I came up with the formula when one of those stories that tries to get you to buy the miracle pill that cures everything. I read the ingredients and I had 3 of the herbs then I ordered the other two. I’ve played with the formula and I think I’ve found the one that works for me. Rosemary is another herb good for neuropathy that others have had success with. A topical application. Many use an oil but I found it left my socks with a rancid oil smell so I now use a liniment. I will be making a blend of St. John’s wort and rosemary as a liniment when the fresh herbs are available.

Good for you Bill!

I’ve suffered with neuropathy for several years before my diabetes diagnosis. Right now it doesn’t bother me to much except first thing in the morning. Once I’m up and moving it doesn’t bother me. Though my feet are more sensitive and I have to wear slippers. Going barefoot is uncomfortable. I have found what I wear on my feet makes a difference. No more flat no support flip flops. I need more support than that. I check my feet regularly. My frustration is I’d mentioned it to my Dr and they just shrugged it off. Was I pre diabetic and they just didn’t catch it. What ever caused it I am now very conscious of my blood sugar because I can’t imagine what it would be like if it gets worse.

Not directly high blood sugar, but the accumulation of cellular debris that hyperglycémies from a diabetes that lasts for years can bring. And it is the degradation of: proliferation, differentiation and migration which will harden the tissues which cause the cracks and lead to complications and, the researchers recognize this..
