I am a type 2 diabetic and I have peripheral neuropathy and also in my hands. I need info on how to slow it down. It’s up to my knees and getting worse. I cry a lot wondering when I’ll be in a wheelchair.

The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a couple of webinars that I think you will find helpful on their YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@foundationforperipheralneu4122/).
