Welcome @sandy8156, I have no experience with a PEMF mat for neuropathy but there is another discussion where members have discussed PEMF mats -- Looking for recommendations on electromagnetic mats (PEMF): https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/electromagnetic-mats/.
If you are looking to learn more about neuropathy for helping your Dad, the following sites have a lot of good information:
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview
Is your Dad on any treatments for his neuropathy?

Hi John, yes, but he is stubborn and doesn't think anything will work. He is laying on the mat at this moment! He has the capsaicin creme and of course he is on diabetic medicine and gabapentin. He doesn't get enough exercise, so he has no circulation in his feet. He loves his sweets. He had Covid pneumonia in January and February, so he has not been able to drive anymore which is good, because I can control the shopping list now. i.e. cookies and cake. I seriously believe the mat is going to help. I have been laying on it also and it has definitely helped my lower back and my shoulder.
