Hi Helen,
This is Krystle, producer for MyDiabetesCentral.com. Thanks for posting! However, I encourage you to repost this in a general community sharepost -- comments made to blogs are harder to see for questions that don't pertain to the subject matter of the blog! You can post a general sharepost here.
Also, you may want to check out this general information about neuropathy and treatment here (and how diet affects neuropathy). There are a few comments written about it here.
Hope this helps! Please keep us updated on how you are doing!
Happy New Year!
Krystle
