Thank you for your reply I am a little confused as I have neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. I have not had nerve conduction tests only being diagnosed by my symptoms. I was prescribed Duloxetine and persevered for many weeks unfortunately suffering severe side effects whilst taking the medication and worse symptoms when stopping Duloxetine. I really don't like to take medication unnecessary as I take medication for blood pressure and thyroid ( partial removal of thyroid) plus Lantus and Apidra insulin. My confusion is I pass the annual foot test at my HbA1c appointment yet I have neuropathy. I would be very interested in what other people are prescribed for neuropathy or how they cope. My latest HbA1c was 56. :-( .Thank you.
