What Ayurvedic remedies can I take for burning feet and diabetic neuropathy while on insulin? - #56072

Your blood sugar improvement from HbA1c 13.3% to 10.5% is a very positive sign. In Ayurveda, diabetic neuropathy with burning feet is usually related to “Madhumeha causing Vata-Pitta aggravation” affecting the nerves and circulation. Since your sugars were very high recently, nerve irritation can continue for some time even after glucose improves. The increase in night urination may be related to Chandraprabha Vati, as it has mild diuretic action in some people. Madhunashini Vati can also lower sugar further, so it should be used cautiously along with insulin and diabetic medicines to avoid fluctuations.
