[Diabetes-talk] Vitamins and supplements that have positiveresults for Diabetics

[Mr. Lewis]

>From Bill Lewis.  A decade ago I began having annoying tingling and burning 
sensations in my feet and lower legs.  My doctor prescribed a medication 
that might help.  It didn't.

A year or so later I began seeing a podiatrist.  He listened to my concerns 
about the neuropathy in my feet.  He suggested that I might try some herbal 
meds that were new to the market place.  The first generation included two 
different compounds which cost sixty dollars for a month supply of the two.

Five years ago a second generation of this med was developed as one 
medication and sold for forty dollars for a month supply.

I began taking itg.  It is a combination of vitamin B-12, vitamin 6, and 
several herbal compounds that are supposed to help.

Well, five years later I still take this med--NeuRx, available from doctor 
offices and podiatrists.  My neuropathy symptoms are gone and have been for 
all these yhears.

This NeuRx is like aspirin and headaches.  It does not cure the cause of 
neuropathy but blocks it so it no longer dominates one's awareness.

Since people react differently to meds, herbs, etc., I cannot say the NeuRx 
will be completely effective as it is for me; but it cannot do any harm, the 
doctors tell me, because there are no negative side effects.  If you are 
bothered with the burning and tingling and aching, due to neuropathy, check 
with a podiatrist or other physician and ask.  I must warn you that many 
medical doctors are against anything that is not obtained a prescription. 
NeuRx is just sitting on shelves in some offices or available through a 
specialty store.  Mine come from my doctor''s office.  If you try NeuRx, let 
us know how it works several months from now.  In my case, it has been 
effective for years.  As I sit here at the keyboard, there are no 
unpleasantg sensations of any kind in my feet or lower legs.  Knock on 
ood!  --  Bill

Hi, Jonathan.

Last time I had a full blood workup, my doctor said I had a vitamin D
deficiency (I had one a few years ago) so was put on I think a thousand
units per day (one big tablet). Other than that, no supplements or vitamins.
Also, given that I have no history of circulatory problems, my doctor
recommended *against* taking a baby aspirin; he didn't think it was
necessary in my case.

Good question, though.

Hello all,
I hope you are all doing well. I was curious if anyone on this list has been
recommended any vitamins or supplements that your Doctors have said would
have positive affects on your diabetes and overall health and why?

I look forward to hearing your responses

Warm Regards,

Jonathan Franks
