I have even not taking it to see if it was just a fluck a day or two and the pain and other problems came back. Started on it again and the tingling and pain came right back. ALA ...

    I had no alleviations of my symptoms and was taking this supplement for over a month. The only thing I got for my trouble was a terrible rash on both arms and legs. I won't take again!

    Type 2 diabetic. Since usage is about 8 months noticed overall decrease in any pain in feet. Have more sensations, nerves, etc. in feet. Recent DR test showed very good responses. Use in conjunction with B6. I am NOT taking any diabetic meds (lost 50 lbs to ensure that!).

    Experiencing neuropathy in my leg associated with Diabetes Type 2, I tried ALA after reading it may have a good effect. After 1 month, neuropathy was reduced and after 2 months, completely gone.
