Medical food: A prescription item, metanx, containing biologically active folate, b-12, and b-6 is indicated as an fda approved treatment for diabetic small fibre neuropathy, and it not only allows regrowth of nerve fibres but also can alleviate the burning. But, takes many months, perhaps up to 9-10. In meantime, Lyrica (pregabalin) or Cymbalta may help. There is no evidence that otc preps have any benefit.
