A member asked:

What lifestyle changes are to be made when newly diagnosed with neuropathy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends upon cause: Very important to uncover causation, and not accept that it is "idiopathic", or "hereditary" in absence of familial history and clinical patterns. If feet are numb, avoid going barefoot, if hands are numb beware of repetitive activities. You might consider supplementing B vitamins via a medical food, such as MetanX.
