Brief Answer: Diabetic neuropathy management guideline... Detailed Answer: Hi, I have gone through the medical history of your husband and feel sorry for the situation he is in. Your husband does have type 2 diabetes. Peripheral neuropathy is one of the long-term complications of diabetes. The symptoms include pain (Neuralgia). I usually use the following guidelines to my diabetic patients who have neuropathy: - should control blood sugar levels - schedule physio-therapy massaging - take multivitamin supplementation (vit.B complex) - take pain-killers. If Tegretol is not helping, then, ask your doctor to prescribe another powerful analgesic until pain is relieved. I also advise to keep following up with neurologist and physio-therapist. Hope it was of help! Let me know if you have further queries! Dr.Albana
