It's important to be cautious about claims of reversing peripheral neuropathy, especially those that seem too good to be true. According to my knowledge base, there is no cure for diabetic neuropathy, but it can be managed and its progression can be slowed. Here are some key points:

Managing Diabetic Neuropathy:
- Blood Sugar Control: Keeping blood glucose levels in check is crucial.
- Lifestyle Changes:
- Stay physically active.
- Eat a balanced and healthy diet.
- Lose weight if overweight.
- Limit alcohol consumption.
- Quit smoking.
- Medications: Pain relief can be managed with medications like tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and gamma-aminobutyric acid analogs. Opioids and topical creams may also be used if needed.
- Regular Monitoring: Regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor and adjust your treatment plan.

Preventing Further Nerve Damage:
- Blood Pressure Control: Keep your blood pressure under control.
- Physical Activity: Take breaks from sitting by walking around every 30 minutes and take the stairs instead of the elevator if possible.

Complications to Watch For:
- Foot Problems: Ulcers, infections, deformities, and damage to bones and joints.
- Other Issues: Hypoglycemia unawareness, sexual dysfunction, urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, and digestive issues.

Always consult with your healthcare provider before trying new treatments or making significant changes to your health regimen.
