Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes, affecting nearly 50–60% of diabetic patients. Symptoms include burning sensation, tingling, numbness, needle-like pain in hands or feet, and imbalance while walking.
In this video, Dr. Sanjeev Agrawal explains how 5 powerful foods can help heal diabetic peripheral neuropathy naturally, while also helping to lower blood sugar levels and reduce dependence on medicines like gabapentin and pregabalin.
Why Does Diabetic Neuropathy Occur?
Long-term high blood sugar damages: • Nerves (myelin sheath) • Small blood vessels (capillaries)
This reduces oxygen, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants reaching the nerves, leading to nerve hypoxia and nerve malnutrition. Medicines may reduce pain but do not heal nerve damage.
The Good News
Diabetic neuropathy can be reversed if blood sugar is controlled naturally and nerves are properly nourished.
🥬 1. Green Leafy Vegetables
Spinach, fenugreek, mustard greens, bathua, and radish leaves are rich in magnesium, fiber, antioxidants, nitric oxide, and alpha-lipoic acid, which improve circulation and nerve healing.
🌰 2. Nuts & Seeds
Almonds, walnuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and chia seeds provide vitamin E, magnesium, and healthy fats that protect and repair nerves.
🥑 3. Avocado
Avocado is low-carb and rich in vitamin K, folate, monounsaturated fats, helping repair the myelin sheath and control blood sugar.
🐟 4. Fatty Fish / Omega-3 Sources
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, improve nerve conduction, and support nerve repair. Vegetarians can opt for flax seeds and chia seeds.
🍓 5. Berries
Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, improving circulation and blood sugar control.
👉 If you want to truly heal neuropathy, focus on natural blood sugar control and food-based healing.
