Diabetic peripheral neuropathic burning feet .how to cure it .although talking medicine 1200 mg gabapentin nt 20 mg but problem is still there .using herbal cream.

Question

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy like burning pain or irritation, those can be effectively controlled by using certain medications like gabapentine, pragabalin & methylcobalamineetc. But it is difficult to "cure" those. The reason is those are part of the long term complications of diabetes mellitus. Neuropathy tends to be more severe and repetitive if blood glucose is not in proper control. I am sure you are aware at your age ideally fbg should be just around 100 mg & pp glucose should be 150 170 mg, plus hba1c% has to be < 7%. Since there is no information on those, it is difficult to know how good is your blood glucose control. The medications being used are good enough, but strict glucose control is also more important. Thanks.
