How Do One Deal With Daibetic Neuropathy It's Very Painful
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy is the most common complication of Diabetes
1 in 2 of us will have "some level" of neuropathy over our life time
If yours is at the "painful" stage it is advanced somewhat from blood sugars running "a little too high" for some period of time
To "halt" the problem or at least slow it down you need to get control of your Blood Sugar (or Blood Glucose - pick your term) NOW or it will get worse
The next stage would be "you don't feel any pain" - that's when it gets really dangerous because that can lead to gangrene and amputations
Not trying to scare you but this IS SERIOUS and you are at a tipping point
See your Doctor
You need Meds to control your blood sugar
There are meds available to deal with the Pain - Gabapentin (Neurontin) and Pregabalin (Lyrica) are the two common, non-opioid drugs used to "take away the pain" but they don't "FIX or TREAT" the actual problem - only near perfect blood sugar control can stop this from getting worse
Make an appointment and see your Doc...
Sorry bs is blood sugar- which is what we have to keep under control.
FBS is fasting blood sugar.to get medication you need you need to speak to your doctor.
Massage with or without essential oil helps.I wear warm socks,keep my feet warm.
The best way is to keep your bs in as tight a range as possible.Medication is available,sometimes effective.taking vitamin b supplements may also help.Read the article in resources as a starting point
Managing diabetic neuropathy and its associated pain involves several strategies:
Pain Relief
- Medications: Commonly prescribed medications include tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and gamma-aminobutyric acid analogs. In some cases, doctors may add opioids and topical creams to the Show Full Answer
Intermittent Fasting (or just IF) when done with the close monitoring of a doctor, dietitian/nutritionist is a very effect method to help control blood sugar and improve overall metabolism (which then regulates blood sugar)
But you should use a professional to set it up and monitor - google is a poor substitute and you can really mess yourself up. Many factors (your other health issues) need to be considered
However, it is viable - not something I could do
The thing to remember is if you use something like Intermittent Fasting or a KETO diet to manage you have to keep it up 'for the rest of your life' - this is not a "have to do this for a few months and things will be fine" - it is a lifelong change you need to make so make sure it is something you can live with and DO forever...
