You must be aware that diabetes causes neuropathy and it’s not something to take lightly. I have neuropathy and I know that How to Reverse Neuropathy is by getting control of it. The fact is that it cannot actually be reversed, but as long as you are in control of your diabetes, your neuropathy can improve and not worsen. Let’s see how.
Can you Reverse Neuropathy by Controlling it?
I’ve always read that neuropathy cannot be reversed. While it may be true, I don’t believe it. But what I do know is that at least by controlling your diabetes, you can stifle your neuropathy and calm and control the symptoms you’re experiencing.
The fact is that our eating habits and lack of exercise contribute to neuropathy. That is what we must focus on in order to turn this around. Diabetes is not a death sentence if you learn to control it.
Symptoms
Symptoms arising from neuropathy can be anything relating to tingling, pain, and numbness in your extremities. You can be quite alarmed at first, but take it from me, at the first noticing of these symptoms get in touch with your doctor.
It’s crucial to attack this right from the beginning in order for you to have a chance to put these symptoms at bay and be able to control them from getting worse.
Stress
How many times have you been told by your doctor or everyone sles for that matter to try and control your stress. Stress kills. It really takes a toll on your body and its immune system. If your immune system is compromised, then you’re at a weakness to fight back at anything possibly attacking your body.
There are ways to help to control stress such as meditation, yoga, or even essential oils will help. But the bottom line is do at least do something to lower your stress levels. I know it’s easier said than done. I get it. But for the sake of experiencing neuropathy and your body, you must try!
Food
We are what we eat. It’s true and you know it. Food and exercise are the two biggest culprits when it comes to diabetes and neuropathy. That’s why it’s so important to change your eating habits and now, not later.
You’ll be amazed at how much better you start to feel once your body gets all the proper nutrition from the foods that provide it.
You want to eat a well-balanced diet that will help your condition and reduce the need for medications that are currently prescribed to address this situation. You might even eliminate the medications altogether if your doctor approves of course.
You need to eat fat which should be 30% of your diet. This includes cooking with oils such as grapeseed oil, sesame oil, or olive oil. And your protein should be about 40% of your diet. Let’s go with beef, pork, chicken, and fish such as wild caught salmon. And finally your carbohydrate intake should be approximately but no more than 30%. Fruits and vegetables are the obvious choices here, but avoiding the starchy veggies.
Supplements
I know a lot when it comes to supplements because I’ve researched them for years. Here are the ones I take that really help with neuropathy:
Vitamin B Complex
I used to take B vitamins separately but not anymore. B12 and the rest of the B vitamins are extremely helpful for neuropathy. BUT, too much vitamin B6 can actually cause or make symptoms of neuropathy worse!
Omega 3 and Omega 6
These Omega 3 fatty acids are helpful with neuropathy because they repair and provide healthy function of your nerve cells.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha lipoic acid is a water and fat soluble antioxidant is one of the best for repairing nerve damage and aiding in any further damage to the nerves. It’s important with this supplement or any other to let your doctor decide just how much for you to take. Everyone is different.
L-Arginine
Blood circulation is crucial when it comes to neuropathy and this supplement (which is an amino acid) is vital in providing just that. Again check with your doctor for the dosage.
Exercise & Working Out
Do I really have to tell you how important exercise is? C’mon we all know it! But you need something. Walking, biking, strength training, cardiovascular exercise, tai chi, meditation (good for the nervous system), and even yoga.
Exercise belongs with diet. They are the core for your overall health and for your neuropathy. Find the best exercise machine fr you.
Natural Remedies
My website is about natural ways to lower blood sugar. So I am not keen on medications because I feel that they are just a band aid effect to the problem, which in this case is diabetes leading to neuropathy.
- Essential Oils – These can be so beneficial for you. You can either apply them to your skin or used as aromatherapy in your diffuser. You must mix these with a carrier oil such as coconut oil. I do both but especially applying a mix of several excellent oils to my feet for comfort and relief. Check them out HERE.
- Acupuncture – This Chinese tradition can help with neuropathy for many folks.
- Foot Reflexology & Massage – This works wonders for me. I just love having foot reflexology done because it feels so good and increases blood flow to my feet!
Medications
There are medications such as Gabapentin and Lyrica that can also help. This is something you obviously need to speak to your doctor about as well.
Foot Care
With neuropathy it is absolutely essential that you check your feet everyday and also see a podiatrist regularly. Make sure you trim your toenails neatly and keep your feet clean and keep a record of what you do and when. I cannot stress enough how crucial this is for your feet!
In Conclusion
These are the best ways on How to Reverse Neuropathy. Because in essence you are controlling it and not letting it get worse. The smartest thing is to let someone else know about this article who might me on the way to neuropathy so that they might possibly prevent and avoid diabetes and neuropathy.

Hi! I had a good time reading your post because you’re very cheerful and full of good energy. I really liked the way you presented Diabetes as not a death sentence if we learn to control it.
Thanks for stressing the point about our feet. I have started to build this habit of checking my feet everyday. But I always appreciate the reminder concerning its importance.
Hey Abel 🙂
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed my article. Even though I have neuropathy I try and keep a positive attitude.
But it’s true that diabetes doesn’t mean the end if you do everything you can to control it. Neuropathy can be stopped and not progress with the proper attention.
It’s so important to check your feet everyday and visit your podiatrist regularly.
The sooner you get a grip on neuropathy the better you’ll be at treating it and keeping it at bay.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
My friend has diabetes, and during the last year he has gone through a rough time. He lost his leg and his house. Friends of his (and I) are helping him financially, and he is renting a little house now. I also want to help him with more info, because he used to be neglectful and careless about his diabetic condition. Now, he cares a lot more, and he will be glad with the info I will share from your artice.
He eats much healthier now, but I will definitely tell him about the supplements you recommend. He hasn’t got them yet. Do these supplements ship internationally (to Mexico)? I think that especially the L-Arginine is important to have for my friend.
Essential oils also sound great. My friend doesn’t use them, but he recommends using a mix of clay and something else (which I forgot, sorry, I should ask him again). he said that it really helped to stimulate more blood circulation in his foot.
Thanks for the info! I will definitely share this with my friend.
Hi Christine 🙂
I’m sorry to hear about your friend. That’s really rough. I hope things get better for him.
Being healthy is the best thing you can try and do. Neuropathy from diabetes is a hard thing to deal with. And so is losing a leg.
Supplements work great and so do essential oils. L-arginine is very important and can help immensely with neuropathy.
These supplements should ship to Mexico, yes.
Thank you for your comments 🙂
Hey, I enjoy a lot while reading your article on How to Reverse Neuropathy | Take Control of our Diabetes. Now I know that Symptoms arising from neuropathy can be anything relating to tingling, pain, and numbness in our extremities. I know that there are ways to help to control stress such as meditation, yoga, or even essential oils will help.
Omega 3 fatty acids are helpful with neuropathy because they repair and provide healthy function of your nerve cells.
Hi Deepanshi 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed my article. While actually reversing neuropathy isn’t possible, the next best thing is to control it.
It’s important to recognize the symptoms early and start treating your neuropathy right away. I know the first time I felt numbness in my feet, I immediately went to the doctor so that I could get the neuropathy under control.
Stress, meditation, and yoga can help but it’s the essential oils that are really the most beneficial for neuropathy.
Because the nerves are dying, a vitamin B complex is also extremely beneficial for neuropathy.
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you 🙂
