Welcome @kwfinnie, My balance is not that great either. I try to be extra careful when I first stand up and take a few steps, especially in the winter time. I've tried a TENS unit that kind of feels like a buzzing when it's zapping your feet but it didn't help me much. I only have numbness with my neuropathy. There is a discussion where other members have discussed ways to help with keeping your balance -- Having trouble keeping your balance?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/having-trouble-keeping-your-balance/

Are you able to share a little more about how long you have had neuropathy and what your symptoms are?

I was first diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy in 1992. I am having quite a bit of trouble with losing my balance recently. I use a cane and am wondering if I maybe should change to a walker.
