Managing diabetic neuropathy pain can be incredibly challenging. For many people with diabetes, nerve pain in the feet, legs, or hands can deeply affect daily life. While keeping blood glucose in range is essential, pain relief often requires additional support.
Common treatments include specific antidepressants or anti-epileptic medications that help calm nerve signals. Some people also benefit from topical creams, physical therapy, or newer techniques like spinal cord stimulation or TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), which uses gentle electrical pulses to reduce pain.
👉 Have you tried any of these treatments, and what was your experience?
👉 Have you heard of newer options like TENS or spinal cord stimulation? Would you consider them?

Many members face delays in accessing specialists or pain clinics. If that’s been your case too, you’re not alone, and your experience matters.
We’d love to hear what has worked (or not worked) for you. 💬
Take care!
