Treatment Of Diabetic Nerve Damage

Treatment for diabetic nerve damage focuses on slowing the progression of the disease. Do consult your healthcare practitioner to discuss about your treatment plan for diabetic nerve damage.

Good control of blood sugar level
The first treatment step is to bring blood glucose levels within the normal range to help prevent further nerve damage. Regular blood glucose monitoring, meal planning, physical activity, and diabetes medicines such as Metformin or insulin will help control blood glucose levels. It may take some time but generally the symptoms will lessen when there is good glucose control.
Taking nerve-regenerating supplement
Scientists have discovered that damaged nerves can be regenerated with a simple supplement known as mecobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12. Mecobalamin is the neurologically-active form of Vitamin B12. With mecobalamin, the liver does not need to convert the inactive form of B12, cyanocobalamin to mecobalamin as it is already orally active. Mecobalamin protects against neurological (nerve) disease and ageing by a unique mechanism that differs from current therapies. Some of the disorders that may be preventable or treatable with this natural vitamin therapy include nerve damage. Take one capsule of 500mcg mecobalamin three times daily to help promote healthy nerves and protect against the degeneration process of the nervous system.A study found that 1500mcg/day of mecobalamin taken daily decreased the occurrence of the common and disturbing symptoms of diabetic nerve damage such as numbness, tingling, weakness and pain.
