Can diabetic neuropathy be reversible

Answer 1

I have what is called Peripheral Neuropathy.....but I do fall under the typical causes of Peripheral Neuropathy. What I have is Idiopathic Neuropathy, (In some cases, however, even with extensive evaluation, the cause of a person's Peripheral Neuropathy remains unknown - this is called Idiopathic Neuropathy).

I was told by my Neurologist that by the time you feel the symptoms the damage is already done and there is no regeneration of the nerves. So it comes down to either deal with it or take some medication. I finally gave in and l am on Gabapentin, What A Difference! Just remember each and every case is different.

Answer 2

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the swelling of blood vessels and destruction of the nerve endings. Unless they find a way to regenerate nerves, there is no way to reverse it. However, the process can be slowed or even stopped with regular exercise, regular blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration and protection of the feet, hands and eyes. Even minor scratches should be tended to immediately, even as they may seem to heal over a long period of time, but they can become infected once more if not monitored often.
