I received a post to say 1000mg Vitamin C had helped another member. I am now taking it in the form of tablets dropped into a glass of water. My feet are much better and I have actually walked on the flat without my stick.
balance isn't perfect so still carry my stick but the discomfort is much reduced. Thankyou.
 
Good to hear it has worked well for you @Bob's Mrs

It’s not something I immediately think of, but having had a quick look, there have been research papers (including RCTs), that have shown a positive impact on reducing neuropathic pain when supplementing Vitamin C levels.

The use of vitamin C could be cost-effective and would be a safe and useful adjunctive therapy for pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
