How Can Peripheral Neuropathy Be Treated?

Hi there any suggestions for neuropathy other than the state of the art injection of a steriod to the eyes and improved blod sugar control? I am getting the treatments, which arent a cure, but can help. My vision is still excellent thank God. I am taking hemp oil and also going to try bio rutin. Any thoughts? I have not had diabetes for but a few years. Thanks. I am a runner, good weight bmi 22, regularly work out, eat well, rest enough, but steroids for asthma it is alleged caused the diabetes. Lantus and regular acting insulin have a marginal effect and metformin made me sick. Exercise is the only thing that works for me. I am a middle aged female.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can go for Vitamin B12 supplements and pregabalin. They really help in neuralgic pain and peripheral neuropathy.
