John @johnbishop , with all the crap floating around the internet, you should point out that NIH doesn't vet any of those articles on its website. If you read the disclaimer you'll see that the cited article needs only to be "published by academic publishers or institutions, scholarly societies, or government and non-governmental organizations." that apply to NIH as a publication, not each individual article. It is up to the original publication to decide if the study and/or conclusions merit scientific consideration. In my opinion, the first article (34509062) does not. It's poorly translated (AI anyone?) and one word can completely change the meaning of a scientifically precise statement. Plus, it does not meet the criteria of a "Valid" scientific study. (I.E. 16 people all from the same hospital, all Type 2 ...) A cursory read of the abstract will show that it is not to be taken seriously.

Welcome @gpanderson, Glad to see that you also read disclaimers and yes, I do hope that everyone reads them. AI worries me a lot now that it has raised it's ugly head in the medical world. I think it is a double edged sword that can do just as much harm as it can do good, depending on a lot of factors controlled by humans who may or may not have our best interests at heart. But hey, I'm human like everyone else with my own opinion. I do enjoy when I can find a research paper that is a double-blind study and written with a conclusion that is easy to understand.

If you don't mind my asking, can you share what brought you to Connect? Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy?
