    I’m sorry, but from your description of how this affects you, you’re talking about peripheral neuropathy and not autonomic neuropathy.
    Autonomic neuropathy tends to affect things that happen ‘automatically’ within your system such as blood pressure control, temperature control, bowel and bladder control, heart rate, digestion rate, sexual function, etc.
    Whichever type of neuropathy you’re talking about, the best that can be achieved comes by way of better control of your blood sugar levels. Sadly, once nerves are damaged via neuropathy the chances of regaining sensation/lack of pain, etc. is negligible.
    Edit:
    My apologies aussygirl87. I wasn’t trying to belittle what it was you were saying. I just focused on what you said about you having it on your lower legs but having it much worse on your arms and hands.

    Diabetes can be prevented by just having a physically active lifestyle. Just exercise everyday and avoid eating too much. Avoid sweets and high carb foods too.
