Balancing Medications and Lifestyle for Diabetic Neuropathy Relief

Hello community,

I’ve been managing diabetic neuropathy for over five years, and it’s been quite a challenge. I’m on a medication regimen that includes gabapentin for nerve pain, and while it helps, I still experience numbness and tingling, especially in my hands and feet. I’ve also been focusing on my diet and exercise to keep my blood sugar levels in check, which has made a noticeable difference in reducing flare-ups.

One thing I’ve found particularly helpful is keeping a detailed log of my symptoms and daily activities. This has helped me identify patterns and triggers, such as certain foods or lack of movement, that can worsen my neuropathy. I’m curious to know what strategies others use to balance medication and lifestyle changes. Any tips for managing diabetic neuropathy more effectively?
