What supplements can help with numbness and tingling in my feet (diabetic neuropathy)?
Diabetic neuropathy is usually caused by blood glucose levels that have been elevated for years. This damages nerve endings in fingers and toes. B vitamins may help prevent nerve and blood-vessel damage. Benfotiamine, a form of thiamin (vitamin B1) found in garlic, onions, leeks, and shallots, has shown promise. (It can also minimize sexual problems associated with diabetes. See Tip No. 9). Make sure your multivitamin and mineral supplement has 100% of the daily B’s, including thiamin, vitamin B6 and B12.
