Hi @jakedduck1 I have neuropathy and muscle weakness but not due to diabetes. I have discovered by trial and error that a low carbohydrate diet makes a significant difference for me. Besides lowering the level of my neuropathy pain it also stops the dry mouth and my sensitivity to certain tastes. It is not easy to stay on a low carbohydrate diet because I do not consume artificial sweeteners. For me, it is well worth the benefits of planning low carb meals. Toni

@avmcbellar
Thank you for the information.
My severe Neuropathy pain stopped a decade or two ago. But I'm curious if the low carb diet helps numbness from Neuropathy? That's what causes my problems now. I have numbness from my feet to my waist.
I enjoy my cousin but I certainly don’t enjoy cooking a no sugar low carbohydrate diet for him. I had candy, cookies, & fruit for dinner. I think I’ll go get some more candy and cookies for dessert now.
so much for a low sugar low carbohydrate diet.
Thanks much,
Jake
