Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. One of the often encountered complication of diabetes is peripheral neuropathy. This is seen in most of the patients, even when blood glucose is fairly well controlled. But if the control is bad then symptoms can be more severe. If Gabapentin is giving relief then it is good. Only other thing to be kept in mind is to achieve a very strict blood glucose control with fasting < 100 mg, Pp 160 to 180 mg and HbA1c% <6.8. That will help in better relief. Thanks.
