To use psychological therapy on a problem that is biochemical in nature (meaning nutritional) is absurd and wrong-minded. Success is extremely doubtful and certainly will not happen over the long run if it’s the placebo effect that makes it seem as though success is reachable.
Diabetic neuropathy with its pain is so debilitating. The pain leads to a more sedentary life style, a negative attitude that makes it more difficult to stick to diet. The weight gain and poor diabetic control worsen the neuropathy and the pain. The available medications provide some relief at the cost of side affects. This study which shows a way to improve life style and symptoms without medication and its attendant side affects is welcome. Will there be enough providers capable of providing the CBT for the vast number of patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy? The study data may also be applicable to people with type I diabetes as well as other patients who have pain. I look forward to extending this approach into these areas.
