I think you have misunderstood me. I want to reverse the neuropathy pain. I have completely changed my diet and my weight is perfect and my A1C is low 6's. Controlling type 2 diabetes does not control the pain from neuropathy. Not controlling type 2 diabetes can result in very bad things. I am controlled, yet still suffering from the PAIN.

Sorry for the confusion on my part. Sometimes Neuropathy caused by diabetes can be reversed by controlling the diabetes. It’s great news that your diabetes is under control.

@julkun, It sounds like you still haven't found anything that helps with the pain from your diabetic neuropathy. Have you seen these discussions?

Also, this is an older article from 2015 that you might not have seen --- VM202 gene therapy eases symptoms in painful diabetic neuropathy: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2015/mar/vm202-gene-therapy-eases-symptoms-in-painful-diabetic-neuropathy-91359885.html

I have had pre-diabetes for years and now have severe fiber neuropathy. Dr. Eve Feldman (diabetic autonomic specialist) at U of Michigan says that type 2 diabetes results in neuropathy even with good insulin control. How many neurologists and endocrinologists are aware of her papers?
