Re: diabetic neuropathy
Nutritional supplement
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) - For patients who are refractory to or intolerant of first-line pharmacotherapies and interested in a nutritional supplement approach, we suggest a trial of oral ALA (600 mg daily). ALA is an antioxidant with the potential to diminish oxidative stress, improve the underlying pathophysiology of neuropathy, and reduce pain.

And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, & from idle chatter: This is called right speech.

Re: diabetic neuropathy
This isn't the place to ask for advice. This is a serious disease-- speak to a neurologist.

If her pancreas is damaged (D1) n cannot produce insulin then it is almost impossible to treat . If (D2) diabetes , pancreas still functioning but not producing enough insulin or insulin are not effectively regulating glucose . D2 is possible to control n treat .

Constant massaging point of reflexology does help for one . But if too serious case then this is not an option .

Re: diabetic neuropathy
Just talk to your physician for it and take the medicine prescribe by them.
