Hello Sean @shayes, Welcome to Connect. You are off to a good start here on Connect which is a great place to learn what others have shared about their neuropathy journey and what has helped and not helped. There is another discussion you may want to read through and learn what others have shared:

Here are a couple of my favorite sights to learn more about neuropathy and the different treatments:
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/lifestyle/managing-peripheral-neuropathy/
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/

You mentioned you also have type 2 diabetes. Have you made any lifestyle changes to help with your diabetes which may also help with your neuropathy?

Hi Sean @shayes controlling your diabetes well with exercise and diet should not make your neuropathy worse. Is your hemoglobin A1C result low within range? Are you managing your diabetes with oral medication(s) or injections? I would talk to the physician who is managing your diabetes. Discuss what more you can do to stabilize your diabetic neuropathy. Is there a possibility of medications to help you with the neuropathy pain? Your physician would know of your medical history and would be better able to advise you. Wish you well.
