    The problem with "therapy" of this sort is that your feet are numb from the neuropathy, so you can't tell if you're getting too much stimulus.

    No one has every proved this type of thing works. Try alpha lipoic acid. It is available in any health food store/nutrition store. It is used quite frequently in Europe for treatment and can help.

    In addition be sure to watch your diet. Go online for help at the ADA website or get advice from a dietician.

    Here you can find a very effective natural treatment for diabetes: http://diabete-cure.gelaf.info/

    Diabetes can be "reversed" or go into "remission". I believe that what that is is decreasing the need to take medications. A person who has diabetes will always have it... but there are cases where a type 2 can either reduce medications or even eliminate them... but will still need to watch diet, get plenty of exercise and keep their weight down. This is called management and control. However, that does not mean that there will never be one. Research has taken huge advances and the more scientists learn about it, the higher likelihood that a cure might come about someday.

    While I did recently read an article that stated gastric lap band or gastric bypass MAY be a potential cure, more research is needed and even if this one day is a cure, it would only be effective on type 2s who are obese since neither of those procedures are performed on people who are of normal weight or body mass. Stem cell transplants are still highly controversial and most likely, have a long way to go before it is approved as a diabetes cure by the FDA. Since the vast majority of diabetics are type 2 (roughly 90%), those of us who are type 1 seem to get lost in the shuffle. EMT type 1 for more years than I care to remember, use a pump. Let me add that when I mean diabetes can be controlled and managed without medication but with diet, exercise and weight control, I'm referring to type 2. This is not an option for type 1s, who must take insulin, either by injections or a pump, to survive.

    I've tried a TENS unit for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, but I found it absolutely useless. It didn't even numb the pain.

    Are you high? I have Diabetic Neuropathy and you couldn't pay me enough to hook a TENS unit up to my feet. That would not be good.
