Sound like what I have.

Anyway, better "supplements" than an actual prescription fer meds.
The doc recommended 1mg of folate (folic acid) and 1000mg of B12. I'm
taking it and it appears to be working. The numbness in my feet
appears to be diminishing (doc sed to report back after 3 mos). I now
worry about the consistency of the supplements. Am I really getting
200mcg (that's 'micro' grams) per tablet?

OTOH, the clinic my doc works out of sez I definitely DO NOT have T2
diabetes. ???? I'm still on a diabetes-like diet. No sugars, no
processed foods, NO carbs! It's almost an Atkins Diet. But, that's
only cuz most processed food puts SOOOO much sugar in their carbs
(plus, carbs break down into glucose, another form of sugar).
