Vitamins to
treat diabetic neuropathy
The treatment
of diabetic neuropathy is not satisfactory. Some anticonvulsants and
antidepressants do work, but often they stop working in the long run. Many
people have been turning to vitamin B for treatment. In one study, large doses
of vitamin B did relieve the pain, but the study was sponsored by the
manufacturer and so bias cannot be ruled out.
You may want to try high doses of
vitamin B, because It is relatively safe and see what happens. In the meantime,
stop smoking, protect your feet and keep good control of your blood sugars.
Remember vitamins are a billion dollar business and people often make false claims to deceive desperately ill patients.
