Can diabetic neuropathy be reversed?

Diabetic neuropathy refers to nerve damage caused by diabetes.
Neuropathy is a common condition impacting 60 to 70 percent of adults with diabetes. However, it mainly concerns those with uncontrolled blood sugar levels or those who have had diabetes for more than 25 years.
The nerve damage caused by diabetic neuropathy is irreversible but there are ways to lessen symptoms and prevent further harm.

Thank you for this article. I have diabetes and occasional bouts of foot pain from neuropathy. I wouldn't wish neuropathy on even my worst enemy.
I have noticed that these bouts have become less frequent now that I'm back on track in the weight loss department and my blood sugars have more or less stsbilized.
