I am a 62 years old Type 1 Diabetic patient, for the past 8years.?


Question:
My nephew who is a doctor says, "Diabetic Neuropathy.
PREGABA is the latest medication for the same along with Stiloz and OXRATE 600 mg. Any experienced doctors can give their openion?

Answers:
You have type 2 diabetes, just because you take insulin does not mean you have type 2. Take the medicine. Is your nephew prescribing it for you? It's not a good idea to have family members as your physician, also you should be seeing an endocrinologist, it sounds like you're not taking care of yourself if you already have neuropathy after 8 years!

Other Answers:
Type 1 diabetes is juvenile onset. If you have had diabetes for only 8 years and are 62 years old then you must have type 2 insulin dependent diabetes.
I am not a doctor. Try what your nephew says then let us know what happens.

If your nephew is an MD, why are you asking here? You must not trust him very much. Either way, you should be seeing and treated by an endocrinologist, just the same. You seem to be the sort that would trust a total stranger more than you would someone growing up in front of you.
