Talk to your doctor about treatment for neuropathy

1 in 2 diabetics gets neuropathy and the longer you have had diabetes the greater the chance

There is a couple medications to alleviate the symptoms but no way to "fix it" so it will get worse over time. To slow it down as much as possible, maintaining "excellent" blood sugar control is the only prescription

I sometimes run my feet under cold water. I let them dry naturally.
