What do you do for Neuropathy itch?

Did your doctor actually test for A1c? Did he do other blood labs to rule out autoimmune diseases or other potential causes? EMG and Nerve Conduction tests? If not, I’d definitely consult with another neurologist or insist that these be done. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some good information you might find helpful. There are a lot of resources on diet and exercises that can be helpful until you can get a more solid diagnosis as to cause. I’m new to neuropathy and just found it helpful to learn about the different types, causes, treatments, etc. And, also, definitely review the posts of the Connects group to gain from their knowledge and experience and to just know you’re not alone. Knowledge can be overwhelming, but it’s also powerful and will help inform your discussions with your medical providers.

Yes we did all of the things you mentioned. I'm currently on a diet to lower my blood sugars which seems to be working. Thank you for your response. Its always encouraging to hear from others.
