Gabapentin can be helpful in decreasing the pain of diabetic neuropathy. More importantly, lifestyle changes to decrease glucose levels such as diet, exercise and maintaining a BMI between 25-28.
The usual treatments that are available are nerve stabilizers like tricyclics like Amitriptylline. Your primary care dr can also try Gabapentin or Neurontin. Lyrics also helps but very expensive. Your PCP can discuss the pros and cons and side effects of these meds and help decide which one is best for you to try.
