Symptom relief only: Medical marijuana can help relieve the discomfort of diabetic neuropathy & also helps many other problems. However, it does nothing to actually cure the neuropathy. Best approaches for this: better diabetes control, Alpha lipoic acid, benfotiamine, frequency specific microcurrent. A raw vegan diet can dramatically help diabetes- see http://www.Naturalnews.Com/028341_diabetes_living_foods.Html.

Marijuana: Marijuana can relieve symptoms of diabetic neuropathy and other conditions. However, it will not affect on the disease at all. You would need to have medial marijuana card to obtain it.
