If you wish to minimize the pain from neuropathy, you must eat healthy meals and smaller portions. And this I cannot emphasize enough, eat your last meal no later than 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm, and no snacking of any kind after that before bedtime. Every time I break this self-imposed rule, my neuropathy goes wild keeping me awake most of the night from the shooting pain in my feet. Try it and see if it works, you have nothing to lose.
