Is cold laser therapy effective for treating diabetic neuropathy ?

[hiranniah]

I am 64. I am having burning sensation with my feet when i stand or walk. There is no burning sensation if i sit or sleep.

I saw few TV commercials saying that diabetic neuropathy is the cause for this. Is cold laser treatment effective for this ?

I have similar problems but never heard beer as a solution.I use DIAFOOT cream on my feet and the pain is reduced to a great extent.Also,try body massage oil all over the body to tone up the skin and reduce burning sensation on the body.

Is it confirmed by test that you are having diabetic neuropathy? Or is it neuropathy caused by B12 deficiency?

What are your BS levels and Hba1c?

Thanks for the reply.

I am having diabetes from last 15 years. So it is most likely due to diabetes. I am not sure about BS levels. I need to check on this.

You don't know your current BS levels? If diabetes is the reason for your neuropathy then chances are that you have constantly maintained high BS levels and if you want to reduce the neuropathy then there is no any other alternative but to reduce BS levels in safe range. FBS <90 and PPBS < 120 at 2hrs.
