Also, be sure your B12 level is okay. All neuropathy is not caused by diabetes - even if you are also a diabetic. :)

Actually, diabetic numbness and insensitivity to pain in the feet and toes is often reversible. Especially in early stages. These conditions are often referred to as neuopathy.

Alpha-lipoic acid helps, as well as omega-3 oils and tight control of blood sugar will help in this process.

There is NO cure for diabetes neurothapy.  Getting to and staying at a healthy weight is a good start along with eating the right foods and exercise.

Talk with your doctor. I got this from About.com, "Some antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) also are showing success at relieving neuropathic pain. Neurontin and Lyrica are commonly prescribed AEDs. They work by reducing the frequency of pain signals that nerve cells send to the brain."

Bottom line, good control of your diabetes is the key to treating Neuropathy - maintain a healthy and normal A1c level. Taking drugs to mask the pain while one ignores good diabetic glucose control is like driving your car at a high rate of speed on flat tire. One day soon you will crash hard.
