Diabetic Neuropathy:
Why Your Feet Hurt
Diabetes is damaging your nerves. The burning, tingling, and numbness will get worse. But there's a solution with an 87% success rate.
TL;DR - Critical Information
•60% of diabetics develop neuropathy within 10 years
•High blood sugar damages nerve fibers and blood vessels
•Early treatment can reverse damage (advanced cases can still improve)
•Neurogenx + supplements = 87% success rate
Why Diabetes Damages Your Nerves
High blood sugar is toxic to nerves. Here's exactly what happens:
1. Direct Nerve Damage
Excess glucose in your blood creates harmful byproducts that damage the myelin sheath (protective coating) around nerves. Without this protection, nerves can't transmit signals properly.
2. Blood Vessel Damage
High blood sugar damages the small blood vessels that supply oxygen to your nerves. Starved of oxygen, nerves begin to die.
3. Inflammation
Diabetes triggers chronic inflammation throughout your body, including in nerve tissue. This inflammation accelerates nerve damage.
Early Warning Signs (Don't Ignore These)
Diabetic neuropathy usually starts in your feet and moves upward. Catch it early and you can reverse the damage.
Stage 1: Mild Symptoms
- • Tingling or "pins and needles" in toes
- • Feet feel cold even when they're not
- • Mild burning sensation at night
- • Reduced ability to feel temperature
👉 This is when treatment works best!
Stage 2: Moderate Symptoms
- • Constant burning or electric shock sensations
- • Sharp, stabbing pains (especially at night)
- • Numbness spreading up legs
- • Difficulty walking or balance problems
Stage 3: Severe Symptoms (URGENT)
- • Complete numbness (can't feel injuries)
- • Foot ulcers or wounds that won't heal
- • Muscle weakness and atrophy
- • Charcot foot (bones breaking down)
⚠️ Risk of amputation increases significantly
Step 1: Control Blood Sugar (Not Enough Alone)
Yes, you need to control your blood sugar. But here's what doctors don't tell you: controlling blood sugar only stops further damage. It doesn't heal existing nerve damage.
Target Blood Sugar Levels
- • Fasting: 80-130 mg/dL
- • After meals: Less than 180 mg/dL
- • A1C: Below 7% (ideally below 6.5%)
Step 2: Regenerate Damaged Nerves
⚠️ Important Medical Disclaimer

Conventional Pain Management:
- • Gabapentin/Lyrica: Designed for pain symptom management. Studies show 30-40% of patients experience partial relief. These medications do not address nerve regeneration.
- • Topical treatments: May provide temporary localized relief for some patients.
- • Blood sugar control: Essential to prevent further damage, but does not reverse existing nerve damage.
Note: Many patients seek regenerative therapies to complement pain management.
✅ Regenerative Treatment Options:
Neurogenx Therapy
FDA-cleared electronic signal treatment designed to support nerve regeneration. Unlike TENS units which provide temporary pain relief, Neurogenx stimulates nerve cell regeneration at the cellular level. 87% of patients in clinical practice report significant improvement.
Results: Most patients notice improvement within 3-4 sessions. Full treatment typically 12-15 sessions.
